STRANGE KIND OF WOMAN (Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
"Strange Kind Of Woman / I'm Alone" single © 1971
"Fireball Anniversary Edition" bonus track © 1996
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.
