    "Darlene" is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin. It was recorded at Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden during the In Through the Out Door sessions in November 1978.

    Due to space constraints, the song was not included on In Through the Out Door. It was left unreleased until 1982, when it was included on the album Coda. It was one of three songs recorded at Polar Studios which were omitted from In Through the Out Door and later released on Coda, the other two being "Ozone Baby" and "Wearing and Tearing".

    John Paul Jones plays barrelhouse piano on this track. Jimmy Page performs 1950s rockabilly-style riffs throughout.

    This is the only song from the In Through the Out Door sessions which was credited to all four members of the band. It was never played live at Led Zeppelin concerts.

    Darlene

    by: Maureen McGovern

    She comes home from work every night,
    Sits in her apartment hoping the phone would ring,
    Ends up staying home to watch TV,
    Makes excuses for herself she can't begin to believe,
    Someone's bound to call tomorrow night, just wait and see
    Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
    When're you gonna learn you simply can't give your heart away?
    Face it now, you're not 16
    You've been hurt inside enough to know what the price of love can be
    And things can get hard to explain
    Like when your little daughter asks where her daddy's gone
    And you can't bear to put her on
    She's all that you have got, so do the best you can
    When she's old enough, you hope that she will understand
    Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
    Why is it love just seems to pass you by?
    Finally, I hope you'll see
    They've been taking you for granted and you just can't let that be
    Putting trust into
    Guys who don't deserve the time of day
    If you only knew
    He'll take what he can get from you
    Then, like the rest, he'll leave you too
    It's the same old story
    And maybe you'll find someone new
    Who'll move in your apartment and can't stand to sleep alone
    And you've convinced yourself he's all your own
    When he stayed in one place long enough, then it's time to go
    I'd hate to be the one to say I told you so
    Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
    When're you gonna learn you simply can't give your heart away?
    Face it now, you're not 16
    You've been hurt inside enough to know what the price of love can be
    Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
    (Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?)
    Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
    (Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?)
    (repeat and fade out)
