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 with nothin' fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her, everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
[Verse 2]
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, I got a strange kind of woman
[Verse 4]
She looked like a raver, but I could never please her
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornin's, 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"
[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, I got a strange kind of woman
[Verse 6]
Oh my soul, I love you
[Verse 7]
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
[Verse 8]
She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
I'm dreamin', 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 and I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman
