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
