Lyrics Nadine (Live) - Berry , Chuck

Shall we do a little Nadine?

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"

Nadine, oh is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you
You got something better to do

I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac
Pushin' through the crowd to get to where she's at
And I was shouting like a southern diplomat

Nadine, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you
You got something better to do (hey, hey, hey, hey)

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"

Nadine, is that you?
Oh, Nadine, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you
You got something better to do

She moves around like a wayward summer breeze
Go, driver, go, go, catch her pretty 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, oh is that you?
Like every time I see you
You got something better to do
Oh
