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

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh Nadine, honey is that you?
It seems like every time I see you darlin' you got somethin' else to do

Yeah I saw her on the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac
Yeah walk 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 is that you?
Yeah it seems like every time I catch ya
You're on to somethin' new

Yeah downtown searchin' for her, lookin' all around
I saw her gettin' in a yellow cab a-headin' uptown
I caught a loaded taxi, paid everybody's tab
Slipped a twenty dollar bill, told him "Catch that yellow cab"

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh Nadine, honey is that you?
It seems like every time I see you you got somethin' else to do
Yeah she movin' all around like a wayward summer breeze
Go, driver, go catch her for me, please
Movin' through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leanin' out the window and I hope that she can hear

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh Nadine, honey is that you?
It seems like every time I see you you got somethin' else to do

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh Nadine, honey is that you?
It seems like every time I see you you got somethin' else to do
