|
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
