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 and 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 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. Isn't it all just a big game
