Lyrics
Fancy Nancy
You see that girl sittin? over there
She was the life of the party wherever she went
She had a wild side and lots of style
She always had a flirting way that she?d smile
Then one day she met the preacher?s son
She fell heart first - head over heels in love
And she hasn?t been the same.
She used to walk down the street
She'd strut a little bit
She'd shake her little hips
The men would flip, flip, flip
(CHORUS)
That was Nancy
Fancy Nancy
That was Nancy
Fancy Nancy
But she hasn?t been the same since that day.
Nancy didn?t plan on falling in love
She liked a good time baby and that was all
Jack?s his name - He has a heart of gold
He must?ve kissed the devil right out of her soul
Cause that?s the day she changed her ways
She used to wear high-heeled shoes
And nylon socks
Man oh man
How she could rock (To Chorus)
Nancy got married - had a little girl
Who had the cutest little smile in all of the world
She was the apple of her momma?s eye
But her sixteenth birthday caught Nancy by surprise
Cause that?s the day she realized?..
Her baby had pretty long dark curls
Flying in the breeze
She had a way
Of bringing them to their knees
Just like Nancy
Fancy Nancy
Just like Nancy
Fancy Nancy
And she hasn?t been the same since that day
