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 I 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 I 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
