Strange King of Woman Songtext
von Deep Purple

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, oh

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, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
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

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
