Wanda & Duane Lyrics - Marshall Crenshaw

I think I cut myself 

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 morning 

Love in the evening, 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 staring out the front door 

At the trees blowing in the wind 

She said, Maybe someday, I'm gonna blow out that door 

And not blow back in again 

Duane was staring 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 

Wanda and Duane, yeah 

I said, there ain't no one to blame 

So we changed our names to Wanda and Duane
