I took my girl to go bowling downtown at the Red Door, 我带着我的女儿去打保龄球市中心的红门，

After an argument, I started because I thought she didn't like me anymore. 争吵后，我开始是因为我以为她不喜欢我了。

I can't help it, sometimes I feel pitiful, 我不能帮助它，有时候我觉得可悲，

And of course, she's so young and beautiful. ，当然，她是如此年轻而美丽。

   

I bought us two glasses of Coke, 我买了我们两杯可乐，

That's her favorite, and I wanted to make up for earlier, 这是她最喜欢的，我想弥补前，

But I dropped her glass and it broke, 但我放弃了她的玻璃就坏了，

So I just gave my glass to her. 所以我只给我的杯子给她。

   

She laughed and so did I in our lane, 她笑了，所以我才在我们的车道，

Then she went to the vending machine to buy a candy cane. 然后她去自动售货机买了糖果手杖。

But right next to that was a boy I knew with a spring in his hand, 但旁边的是个男孩，我知道，在他的手一个弹簧，

Playing a country pinball machine called "Stand by Your Man". 打一个国家弹球机叫“你的男人站在” 。

I saw him talk to her, but I stayed in my lane and played my game steady, 我看到他跟她说话，但我住在我的车道，并打我的比赛稳定，

And was thinking of the day when I'd be too old to throw a ball this heavy. 而就在想这一天的时候，我会太老了，扔球这个沉重。

   

But I guess I'm young now, so it's easy to knock 'em all down, 不过，我想我现在年轻，所以很容易敲时间都有所减少，

Then I looked and saw her say to him "You're really hittin' that ball around", 然后，我看见了她对他说： “你真的是地球上各地的球” ，

And he's looking at her the way I did when I first met her, 他是我没有当我第一次见到她的方式在看她，

I could see in his face white flowers, and cups of coffee, and love letters. 我可以在他脸上看到白色的花朵，和咖啡杯，和情书。

   

I was sorry to interrupt that game, 我很抱歉打断那场比赛中，

But I went and did it anyway. 但是我去了，就是这么做的。

I dropped my red bowling ball through the glass of the machine, 我在机器的玻璃翻掉红色的保龄球，

And said "Are you quick enough to hit this ball, Mr. Clean?" 并说“你速度不够快，打这场球，清洁先生？ ”

I was scared to lose her, so I couldn't help being mean. 我害怕失去她，所以我忍不住吝啬。

   

And that ended both of our games, 而这两个结束我们的游戏，

I said I was sorry, but my girl left with him just the same. 我说我很抱歉，但是我的女孩离开了他一样。

I thought how much I hate when love makes me act this way, 我想我是多么讨厌当爱情让我这样的行为，

I was bent over a broken pinball machine in a bowling alley and I threw it all away. 我俯身破弹球机在保龄球馆，我把它全部带走。

   

Well, isn't it all just a big game? 那么，是不是这一切只是一场伟大的比赛？
