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 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 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 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 ya know 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 Wanda and Duane.

Wanda was staring 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 staring out the bedroom window at the leaves fallin from the tree.
He said maybe someday I'm gonna jump out that window and not say goodbye when I leave.


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 Wanda and Duane.
I said there ain't no one to blame
So we changed our names to Wanda & Duane
 
I've heard this song before, except back then, it was called Jack and Diane.
 
Jack & Diane - John Cougar

Wanda & Duane - Marshall Crenshaw

BIG difference.
