WATCHING DARLENE music and lyric by Eddie Biggins

I see her But I’ll never touch her Can’t hold her Though I’d like so much ter She sits there Sipping at her coffee As I try to shake these feelings off me I know I should stop making myself insane And shove all these thoughts to the back of my brain Instead here I am wasting my afternoon Watching Darlene from across the room

She smiles and Gives a little greeting But contact Is all-too-fleeting I pretend it Doesn’t really faze me But inside I am going crazy I know in my heart what the real truth would be There’s no way she’ll ever look that way at me But I push reality out and resume Watching Darlene from across the room

I’m no match for the competition In this romantic game She already has a lover And Amy is her name

I want her Want her with a passion But face it It ain’t gonna happen I long to More than just befriend her But the problem Seems to be my gender Now I am not stupid so why do I stay When deep down I know I should just look away But here I am letting my fantasies bloom Watching Darlene from across the room
