As I got on a city bus and found a 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 tryna 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

But you're up to something new

She moved around like a wayward summer breeze

Go driver 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
