Lyrics
OH, WAYNE
V1
Took a walk, by your place today Through the garage door, I hear G-L-O-R-I-A
I think you’re working on your Kharman Ghia
I wanna knock, but it’s not a good idea
If I had the guts, I’d sneak a peek through the mail slot
I bet you look real good bent over that hood…….
I think that you’re so hot Oh, Wayne
V2
You like me, as a friend you say
You’re sorry, you don’t think of me the way
I want you to, it makes me really mad
I wish you could be more of a cad
Cuz right now you’re so close to me I can barely breathe
You don’t even know I’m in the room……. I guess I should just leave Oh, Wayne
CH
Wayne, oh Wayne, where ever did you go?
I’ve asked everyone, nobody seems to know
Did you make it back from the war?
We looked everywhere and more
Couldn’t find your name on any Wall
Maybe you didn’t go after all, Oh Wayne
V3
I remember, you slept with everybody, mister,
All my friends , and all of their big sisters
You were so fine it made my stomach ache
I felt like I was floating on a lake
You were such a gorgeous jerk, blind to destiny
I knew we could made it work,……….
How could you not see? Oh, Wayne
CH
Wayne, oh Wayne, where ever did you go?
I’ve asked everyone, nobody seems to know
Did you make it back from the war?
We looked everywhere and more
Couldn’t find your name on any Wall
Maybe you didn’t go after all, Oh Wayne
