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
