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, yes I have 

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 

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 

Ooh, my soul, I love you 

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, yes I have 

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 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, ha ha ha 
Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman, yeah 

She was so fat 
She was the worst thing you‘ve ever seen 

Ooh, my soul, I love you, baby 

- hey, thank you, thank you.
