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!
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
O-o-h, o-o-h, o-o-h, o-o-h
Oh, 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 got a strange kind of woman
