Oh oh yeah
Darlene, oh Darlene, oh Darlene,
Oh oh yeah Darlene, oh oh Darlene, oh oh Darlene
Oh come on baby give me some

When I see you at that dance with your tight dress on
Whatcha got it sure is fine
I want to get me some

Darlene, woo baby baby Darlene, oh be my baby Darlene,
Oh, come on baby be my baby
Come on, come on come oh
Darlene, oh, Darlene, hey hey Darlene, oh oh
Come back and be my sweet little girl
When I see you on the street, it makes my heart go flitter
I see you walkin' with all those guys
It makes me feel so sick

And I don't care what people say
And I don't care what they do
Sweet child I gotta make you mine
You're the only thing that I want: You!
Baby baby when you walk down the block,
See the people behind (?)
Woh child oh ya drive me wild
I gotta do it really gonna try

Oh baby, I got my car
I'll take you as far
I'm gonna take you every place
I'm gonna boogie-woogie-woogie-woogie that's fine

I'm gonna prove it, Darlene
I'm gonna make ya my girl
I'm gonna boogie, Darlene
I'm gonna send ya in another world

'Cause I love Darlene, I gotta love 'er,
Yes I do
I've been savin' all my money I've been workin' all day long
I gotta give it all back to you

Oh but I love Darlene?
'Cause I love, yes I do ?
I've been workin' to, I've been workin' everyday
I've been tryin' to get a hold of you
And I love you Darlene
Yes I love you I do
?
I've been saving all for you
Oh I love ya

    Agreed, DAS JETS. I also consider this to be one of Zeppelin's worst songs, though I still enjoy it. The lyrics fall so incredibly short for Zeppelin, and for the longest time I couldn't even tell Plant was saying "Darlene."

    But then, it is basically a reject song, after all.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
