| I went to a hop with my boyfriend | 
| We were dancing to our favourite song | 
| Somebody turned out the lights and he walked away | 
| He 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 | 
| Well it was dark and I couldn’t see her face | 
| But I saw her hitting on my guy | 
| All the kids were dancing and 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 asked me | 
| So I said, a match burned 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 | 
| Cos 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 | 
| Well my boyfriend heard me crying asked me | 
| So I said, a match burned me | 
| I struck a match and there he was a kissing | 
| I struck a match and he was holding her | 
| It took a match to catch him doing me wrong | 
| Doing me wrong, yeah doing wrong, yeah doing me wrong, he was doing me wrong |
