Wanda met Duane in a local bar
Next to an industrial park
Duane didn't like the clothes she wore
But she felt real good in the dark
After a few dates, they said "why wait?"
And Wanda moved in to stay
In 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 gotta come to an end
Even in a warm bedroom
Duane got tired of hearing her voice
Wanda got sick of his breath
And they never said a word when they went to sleep
On opposite sides of the bed
Well, ain't it a shame
But there ain't no one to blame
When love just slips away
And only the lovers remain
Well, ain't it a shame
But there ain't no one to blame
So the names have all been changed
To protect Wanda and Duane
Wand joined a gym but she never went
'Cuz 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 she never did
While Duane fell in love with the naked girls
In all the magazines that he hid
Wanda was looking out the front door
At the trees blowing in the wind
She said, "Maybe someday I'll blow out that door
And I won't blow back again"
Duane was staring out the bedroom windown
At the leaves falling from the trees
He said, "Maybe someday I'm gonna jump out this window
And I won't say goodbye when I leave"
(Repeat Chorus)
There's no one to blame
So we changed our names
To Wanda and Duane
