There once was
a woman
A strange kind
of woman
The kind that gets
written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was
nothing fancy
She left a trail of
happiness and misery
I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone,
and gave them good
return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said, "I ain't for
takin' won't you ever
learn?"
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
I spent my money
as I took my turn
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange
kind of woman
She looked like a raver
But, I could never
please her
On Wednesday
mornings, boy,
you can't go far
I couldn't get her
But things got
better, she said
"Saturday nights from
now on, baby,
you're my star"
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
I spent my money
as I took my turn
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange
kind of woman
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, my soul, I love you
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
I spent my money
as I took my turn
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange
kind of woman
She finally said
she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers,
and I glowed with pride
I'm dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman
just before she died
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
I spent my money
as I took my turn
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
Ooh, I had a strange
kind of woman
