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,
Darlin' you got somethin' 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 tryin' to get to where she's at,
And I was campaign-shoutin' like a southern diplomat.
Nadine, honey, is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, where are you?
Seems like every time I catch up witcha,
You're up to somethin' new.
Downtown searchin' for her, lookin' all around.
Saw her gettin' in a yellow cab, headin' uptown.
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab.
Flipped a twenty-dollar bill an' told him, "Catch that yellow cab."
Nadine, honey, is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
Seem like every time I catch up witcha,
You're up to somethin' new.
She moves around like a wayward summer breeze.
"Go, driver, go, go on, catch her for me please."
Movin' thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier.
Leanin' out the taxi window tryin' to make her hear.
Nadine, honey, is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
Seem like every time I see you,
Darlin' you up to somethin' new.
