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
