There once was a womanA strange kind of womanThe kind that gets written down in history
Her name was NancyHer face was nothing fancyShe left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved herEverybody loved herShe loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take herI even tried to break herShe said, "I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn"
I want you, I need you, I got to be near youI spent my money as I took my turnI want you, I need you, I got to be near youOoh, I got a strange kind of woman
She looked like a raverBut I could never please herOn Wednesday mornings boy, you can't go far
I couldn't get herBut things got better, she said"Saturday nights from now on baby, you're my star"
I want you, I need you, I got to be near youI spent my money as I took my turnI want you, I need you, I got to be near youOoh, I got a strange kind of womanUhhhUhhhUhhhUhhhUh my soul, I love you
I want you, I need you, I got to be near youI spent my money as I took my turnI want you, I need you, I got to be near youOoh, I got a strange kind of woman
She finally said she loved meI wed her in a hurryNo more callers and I glowed with prideI'm dreamingI feel like screamingI won my woman just before she diedI want you, I need you, I got to be near youI spent my money as I took my turnI want you, I need you, I got to be near youOoh, I got a strange kind of woman
