Nadine (Is It You ?)

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, honey, is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
Seem like every time I see you, darlin'
You got somethin' 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, 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, where are you?
Seem like every time I catch up with you
You're up to somethin' new

Downtown, searchin' for her, lookin' all around
Saw her gettin' in a yellow cab and headin' uptown
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up ev'rybody's tab
Flipped a 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 up with you
You're up to somethin' new

She move around like a wayward summer breeze
Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me, please
Movin' through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leanin' out the taxi window, tryin' to make her hear

Nadine, honey, is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
Seem like every time I see you, darlin'
You're up to somethin' new
