the white stripes - hand springs lyrics

Loading...

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 gl-sses of c0ke
that’s her favorite, and i wanted to make up for earlier
but i dropped her gl-ss and it broke
so i just gave my gl-ss 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 hitting 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 gl-ss 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?

isn’t it all just a big game?
