The White Stripes - Hand Springs

I took my girl to go bowling downtown at the Red Door
 After an argument, I started because
 I thought she didn't like me anymore
 I can't help it, sometimes I feel pitiful
 And of course, she's so young and beautiful
 ♪
 I bought us two glasses of Coke
 That's her favorite, and I wanted to make up for earlier
 But I dropped her glass and it broke
 So I just gave my glass to her
 ♪
 She laughed and so did I in our lane
 Then she went to the vending machine to buy a candy cane
 But right next to that was a boy I knew with a spring in his hand
 Playing a country pinball machine called "Stand by Your Man"
 I saw him talk to her, but I stayed in my lane
 And played my game steady
 And was thinking of the day
 When I'd be too old to throw a ball this heavy
 ♪
 But I guess I'm young now, so it's easy to knock 'em all down,
 Then I looked and saw her say to him:
 "You're really hittin' that ball around"
 And he's looking at her the way I did when I first met her
 I could see in his face white flowers
 And cups of coffee, and love letters
 ♪
 I was sorry to interrupt that game
 But I went and did it anyway
 I dropped my red bowling ball through the glass of the machine
 And said, "Are you quick enough to hit this ball, Mr. Clean?"
 I was scared to lose her, so I couldn't help being mean
 ♪
 And that ended both of our games
 I said I was sorry, but my girl left with him just the same
 I thought how much I hate when love makes me act this way
 I was bent over a broken pinball machine in a bowling alley
 And I threw it all away
 ♪
 Well, isn't it all just a big game?
