[Verse 1]
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 this bus"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 to get to where she's at
I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat

[Chorus]
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadinе, honey, where arе you?
Seems like every time I catch up with
You are up to something new

[Verse 3]
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
With a twenty-dollar bill, told him, "catch that yellow cab"
[Chorus]
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I catch up with
You are up to something new

[Verse 4]
She moves around like a wayward summer breeze
Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me, please
Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear

[Chorus]
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling
You are up to something new
