She kept the light open, all night long For me to come home, and sing her my song Oh Debbie Denise was true to me She'd wait by the window, so patiently And I'd come on home with my hair hanging down She'd pin it up, and softly smile But I was out rolling with my band And I was out rolling with my band I never realized, she was so undone I didn't suspect she had no life of her own She was so true but she was a she She was just there I would just come Stumbling in she'd show me she'd care I didn't care cause she was just there But I was out rolling with my band And I was out rolling with my band I wouldn't come home for weeks at a time She wouldn't accept that she was free Oh Debbie Denise was true to me She'd wait by the window so bitterly Wanting me to come close, I guess I noticed I couldn't see, so what could I say That more affection could I show her I had only one thing on my mind When I come to her, she'd pin back my hair And out past the fields out the window I'd stare Where I was out rolling with my band I was out rolling with my band Ela manteve a luz acesa, a noite inteira Para eu voltar para casa, e cantar para ela minha musica Oh Debbie Denise era real para mim Ela esperou na janela, paciente E eu cheguei em casa com meu cabelo solto Ela o prendeu, e sorriu suavemente Mas eu estava fora curtindo com minha banda E eu estava fora curtindo com minha banda Eu nunca percebi, ela estava incompleta Eu não suspeitei que ela não tinha vida própria Ela era verdadeira, mas ela era ela Ela estava lá, eu queria voltar Tropeçando, ela me mostrou que se importava Eu não liguei porque ela estava lá Mas eu estava fora curtindo com minha banda E eu estava fora curtindo com minha banda Eu não voltaria para casa por semanas Ela não aceitava que estava livre Oh Debbie Denise era real para mim Ela esperou na janela amargamente Querendo que eu me aproximasse, acho que notei Eu não podia ver, o que eu poderia dizer? Que afeição eu poderia mostrar para ela? Eu tinha apenas uma única coisa em minha mente Quando voltei para ela, ela prendeu meu cabelo E além dos campos, do lado de fora da janela eu ficaria Onde eu estava curtindo com minha banda Eu estava curtindo com minha banda
