| As I got on a city bus and found myself a 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, I’m gettin' off the bus
|
| Nadine, honey, is that you?
|
| Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
|
| It seem like every time I catch up with
|
| You up to somethin' new
|
| I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
|
| She started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac
|
| I was pushin' through the crowd tryin' to get to where she’s at
|
| Campaign shoutin' like a Southern diplomat
|
| I said, Nadine, honey, is that you? |
| Yeah, baby
|
| Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
|
| It seem like every time I catch up with
|
| You up to somethin' new, yeah, babe, oh darlin'
|
| Hey, downtown searchin' for her, lookin' all around
|
| Saw her gettin' in a cab, back headin' uptown
|
| I caught a yellow taxi, hey, I took the
|
| Tipped twenty dollar bill, catch that yellow cab
|
| Nadine, honey, is that you?
|
| Oh girl, hey, Nadine, little girl, is that you?
|
| It seem like every time I catch up with
|
| You got somethin' else to do
|
| Yeah, and she moves around like a wave of summer breeze
|
| Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me, please
|
| Move through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
|
| Leanin' out the window tryin' to make her hear
|
| Nadine, little girl, is that you?
|
| Oh, Nadine, is that you?
|
| It seem like every time I catch up with
|
| You got somethin' else to do
|
| Oh, Nadine, little girl, is that you?
|
| Oh yeah, little girl, is that you?
|
| It seem like every time I catch up with
|
| You up to somethin' new
|
| It seem like every time I catch up with
|
| You up to somethin' new |
