Nancy got a haircut, she looks really nice now
Walkin' with a light strut, drawin' all the eyes, how nice
Oh, how nice
Nancy's got a new dude, pullin' all the fellas
Girls are doin' voodoo, 'cause they're getting jealous
My, it must be nice
To be Nancy
But nobody knows what it's like to be
Scrutinized like you're on TV
Nobody knows what it's like
To be Nancy
Nancy's got a hard life, winnin' isn't easy
Even if it's part-time, even when it's sleazy
I think I would die
If I were like Nancy, had to do what she does
Dressin' up all fancy, fightin' off her freedom
I think I would die
I wouldn't wanna be Nancy
But nobody knows what it's like to be
Scrutinized like you're on TV
Nobody knows what it's like
To be Nancy
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
But nobody knows what it's like to be
Scrutinized like you're on TV
Nobody knows what it's like
To be Nancy
