I Struck A Match

I went to a hop with my boyfriend
We were dancing to our favorite song
Somebody turned out the lights and he walked away
Said he wouldn't be gone too long

I struck a match and there he was a-kissing her
I struck a match and there he was a-holding her
It took a match to catch, him doing me wrong

Now it was dark and I couldn't see her face
But I saw her hitting on my guy
All the kids were dancing and a-having fun
But I couldn't do a thing but cry

I struck a match and there he was a-kissing her
I struck a match and there he was a-holding her
It took a match to catch, him doing me wrong

Well, I wiped away the tears and turned my head so no one could see
But my girlfriend heard me crying and asked me
So I said, a match burnt me

The lights went on at the hop
And my boyfriend came back to my side
He said he went for a soda
I said honey, I know you've lied

Cause I struck a match and I saw you kissing
I struck a match and you were holding her
It took a match to catch, him doing me wrong

I wiped away the tears and turned my head so no one could see
But my boyfriend heard me crying and asked me
So I said, a match burnt me

I struck a match and there he was a-kissing
I struck a match and he was a-holding her
It took a match to catch, him doing me wrong

Doing me wrong, yeah doing me wrong, yeah doing me wrong
