lyrics

Darlene

Darlene our love is wrong
But I’ll tag along as long as it’s so strong
The way you walk on the back of the beat
Talking indiscreet
Well, I can feel the heat from across the street

Darlene, how did you know
When I never dreamed that I would want you so
The stray dog talk that’s your stock in trade
Is my serenade
So don’t you be afraid to call a spade a spade

And when you crook your finger
You’ve got all my attentions now
Darlene, and I wonder how
It’s a regular revelation
And when you read my mind and
You show what I want you to show
Darlene, well I want you to know
What I like is… sensation

Darlene, what’s done is done
There’s no time just to judge every other little one
We’ve got dreams and to chase
Lips and wine to taste
And no time to waste so let’s make haste

Darlene, don’t you get me wrong
I’m the son of the creature that crawled from a radio song
Like a moth with just one aim
I’ve got to be the flame
It’s such a shame that life’s so tame

And when you crook your finger
You’ve got all my attentions now
Darlene, and I wonder how
It’s a regular revelation
And when you read my mind and
You show what I want you to show
Darlene, well I want you to know
What I like is… sensation

Darlene…
Darlene…
Darlene…
