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 hittin' on my guy
All the kids were dancing and a having fun
But I couldn't do a think but cry

I struck a match and there he was a kissing her...

Well I wiped away the tears and turned my head so no one could see
But my girlfriend heard me crying 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 saw you 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...
I struck a match and there he was a kissing...

Doing me wrong yeah doing wrong
Yeah doing me wrong
