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
