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 the twenty dollar, said 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
