Wanda and Duane |
Wanda met duane in a local bar |
Next to an industrial park |
Duane didn’t like the clothes that she wore |
But she felt so good in the dark |
After a few days they said 'why wait' |
And wanda moved in to stay |
Into duane’s apartment on the second floor |
Next to the 605 freeway |
They made love in the mornin' |
Love in the evenin', love in the afternoon |
But all good things have got to come to an end |
Even in a warm bedroom |
Duane got tired of hearing her voice |
And wanda got sick of his breath |
Pretty soon they never said a word before falling asleep |
On opposite sides of the bed |
Oh ain’t it a shame |
There ain’t no one to blame |
When love just slips away |
And only the lovers remain |
Ain’t it a shame |
There ain’t no one to blame |
So the names have been changed |
To protect wanda and duane |
Wanda joined a gym but she never went |
'cause it was just too far away |
Duane held the tv remote control |
And smoked three packs a day |
Wanda thought that undercover she might take a lover |
But you know that she never did |
Duane fell in love with all the naked girls |
In the magazines that he hid |
Oh ain’t it a shame |
There ain’t no one to blame |
When love just slips away |
And only the lovers remain |
Ain’t it a shame |
There ain’t no one to blame |
So the names have been changed |
To protect wanda and duane |
Wanda was starin' out the front door |
At the trees blowin' in the wind |
She said 'maybe someday i’m gonna blow out that door |
And not blow back in again' |
Duane was starin' out the bedroom window |
At the leaves falling from the tree |
Said 'maybe someday i’m gonna jump out that window |
And not say goodbye when i leave' |
Ain’t it a shame |
There ain’t no one to blame |
When love just slips away |
And only the lovers remain |
Ain’t it a shame |
There ain’t no one to blame |
So the names have been changed |
To protect wanda and duane |
I said there ain’t no one to blame |
So we changed our names to wanda and duane |
