Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 nothin' fancy
She led a trail of happiness and misery
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
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, got a strange kind of woman
[Verse 4]
She looked like a raver, but I could never please her
On Wednesday morning, boy, you can't go far
I couldn't get her, but things got better
She said, Saturday nights for now, well baby, you're my star
[Verse 5]
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, got a strange kind of woman
[Verse 6]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, my soul, I love you, OH
[Verse 7]
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, got a strange kind of woman
[Verse 8]
Well, she finally said she loved me, I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glow with pride
I'm dreaming, I feel like screamin'
I won my woman just before she died
[Verse 9]
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
Ooh, got a strange kind of woman, yeah
[Verse 10]
She was so bad
I mean, evil
[Verse 11]
OH
OH
Ooh, my soul, I love you, baby, OH
Whoa, yeah, alright
[Verse 12]
Thank you, hey (Hey), hey (Hey), HEY (HEY), HEY (HEY)
