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 talkin', 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!"
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.
