The White Stripes - Hand Springs [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
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 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 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?
