Sangtekst: Marshall Crenshaw. Wanda & Duane.

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 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 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 staring out the front door
At the trees blowing 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 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
Wanda and Duane, yeah

I said, there ain't no one to blame
So we changed our names to Wanda and Duane
