Wanda And Duane Lyrics

    (d. alvin)
    Blue horned toad music (bmi)

    (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 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
