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 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
