Wanda and Duane - Marshall Crenshaw

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
