Nadine

As I got on a city bus and found my vacant seat

I thought I saw my future bride walking 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?

Seems 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 was pushin' through the crowd trying 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?

Seems like every time I catch you

But you're 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

Flip the 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 you

You're up to something new

She moved around like a wayward summer breeze

Go, driver, go, go on, catch her for me, 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're up to something new
