Darlin′

Oh Darlin'
I wish you weren′t lying
When you said that you're leaving me Darlin'

I know it′s my pride
That stands in the
The way of my feelings
I′m humbled and kneeling

I never thought I'll feel this way
I really wanna learn to say:
Oh my Darlin′, Oh my Darlin'

Oh my Darlin′
I know what you thinking
And I know what the answer is, Darlin'
I′m feel like I'm sinking
Cause is no love inside of me I know!
We can make it o'right

I never thought I′ll feel this way
I really wanna learn to say:
So come on Darlin′

Don't pull me out!
Please let me in!
You are the reason
I should be in your arms, in your arms!

I know, we can make it o′right... Yeah!
I never thought I'll feel this way
I really wanna learn to say:
Oh my Darlin!
Uh, di di di Darlin′

Darlin'
Darlin′ (Should we'll keep on trying?)
Darlin'
Darlin′ (Should we′ll keep on trying?)





Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na Yeah!
Darlin' (Should we′ll keep on trying?)

Overall Meaning

In Frank Stallone's song "Darlin'," he sings about a relationship that is falling apart and how he wishes his significant other wasn't lying when she said she was leaving him. The lyrics express his regrets and his acknowledgement that it's his pride that's getting in the way of his emotions for her. He admits that he never thought he would feel this way, but now he wants to learn to say things like "Oh my darlin'" because he wants to open up to her and make things right.


Throughout the song, the lyrics show the singer's desperation and his desire to fix the relationship. He knows what she's thinking and he feels like he's sinking because there's no love left inside of him. However, he believes that they can make it alright, and he pleads with her not to pull him out and to let him back in. The repetition of "Darlin'" at the end of the song shows that he's willing to keep on trying to make things work, but it's ultimately up to the both of them to make the decision to continue with the relationship or to end it.


Overall, the lyrics of "Darlin'" convey a sense of remorse and urgency, and the message of the song is the importance of communication and the desire to fix a relationship that is breaking down.

Happy 71st birthday Frank Stallone!

Paulo França Lacerda

Very good song. These one, along with "Fly Together", are simply the best from Frank IMO.
