Wanda and Duane — текст песни (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 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
