Nadine

As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat,
I thought I saw my future bride walkin' up the street,
I shouted to the driver Hey conductor, you must slow down
I think I see her, please let me off the bus

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey is that you?
Seem like every time I see you, darling,
You got something else to do

I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin' toward a coffee-colored Cadillac
I's pushin' through the crowd to get to where she's at
And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey where are you?
Seem like every time I catch up with you,
you up to something new

Downtown searching for her, looking all around
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab
Flipped a twenty-dollar bill and told him, Catch that yellow cab

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey is that you?
Seems like every time I catch up with you,
you up to something new

She moves around like a wayward summer breeze
Go, driver, go, go-on, catch her pretty please
Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window, trying to make her hear

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey is that you?
Seems like every time I see you, darling,
you up to something new
