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 a good return

I tried to take her, I even tried to break her

She said I ain't for taking, 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

Oh 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

Oh I got a strange kind of woman
