Debbie Denise Lyrics
For me to come home, and sing her my song
Oh Debbie Denise was true to me
She'd wait by the window, so patiently
And I'd come on home with my hair hanging down
She'd pin it up, and softly smile
And I was out rolling with my band
I didn't suspect she had no life of her own
She was so true but she was a she
She was just there I would just come
Stumbling in she'd show me she'd care
I didn't care cause she was just there
And I was out rolling with my band
She wouldn't accept that she was free
Oh Debbie Denise was true to me
She'd wait by the window so bitterly
I couldn't see, so what could I say
That more affection could I show her
I had only one thing on my mind
And out past the fields out the window I'd stare
I was out rolling with my band
see "To Remember Debbie Denise" poem by Patti Smith it was changed from "rolling with my man" to "...with my band" for the song (and a few other changes)
I see it as the short story of a guy in a band whose faithful partner waits "so patiently"; patiently because she wants him around all the time, and it gets to the point that her life centers solely around that. But he almost totally neglects her and causes her to think the relationship is over. It's unclear to me if they reconcile but regardless, the guy becomes what Debbie Denise once was, in the respect that his life now consists of staring out the window "where I was out rolling with my band".
BOC are so underrated! I can't believe no one commented here!
@SMUSER17506205 They are definitely ONE of the tightest, well-coordinated and talented ROCk band to ever hit the stage! Rock On!

I always thought the song was a send up of Kiss' Beth. Here he just doesn't care at all,he seems to be impatient to get back on the road. In Beth the guy at a minimum says he's conflicted and seems to maybe care about Beth.
