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 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.
