Текст (слова) песни: The White Stripes - Hand Springs
I took my girl to go bowling downtown at the red door after an argument I started cause 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 and then she went to a 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 a day when I`d be too old to throw a ball this heavy
but I guess I`m young now so it`s easier to knock `em all down then I looked and saw her say to him `you`re really hittin` that ball around` and he`s lookin` 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 their game but I went and did it anyway I dropped my red bowling ball through the glass of his machine I 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?
