What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
She comes home from work every night,
2
Sits in her apartment hoping the phone would ring,
3
Ends up staying home to watch TV,
4
Makes excuses for herself she can't begin to believe,
5
Someone's bound to call tomorrow night, just wait and see
6
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
7
When're you gonna learn you simply can't give your heart away?
8
Face it now, you're not 16
9
You've been hurt inside enough to know what the price of love can be
10
And things can get hard to explain
11
Like when your little daughter asks where her daddy's gone
12
And you can't bear to put her on
13
She's all that you have got, so do the best you can
14
When she's old enough, you hope that she will understand
15
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
16
Why is it love just seems to pass you by?
17
Finally, I hope you'll see
18
They've been taking you for granted and you just can't let that be
19
Putting trust into
20
Guys who don't deserve the time of day
21
If you only knew
22
He'll take what he can get from you
23
Then, like the rest, he'll leave you too
24
It's the same old story
25
And maybe you'll find someone new
26
Who'll move in your apartment and can't stand to sleep alone
27
And you've convinced yourself he's all your own
28
When he stayed in one place long enough, then it's time to go
29
I'd hate to be the one to say I told you so
30
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
31
When're you gonna learn you simply can't give your heart away?
32
Face it now, you're not 16
33
You've been hurt inside enough to know what the price of love can be
34
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
35
(Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?)
36
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
37
(Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?)
38
(repeat and fade out)
