Darlene Lyrics

I think the speaker is looking for the couple.

When he starts asking the questions at the end of the song, it seems like he's asking them rhetorically, as if to make an example of them.

But then he keeps asking the questions over and over again, and it becomes increasingly clear that he doesn't know what happened to them. He's asking you in hopes that you can tell him.
