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 twenty dollar bill, 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
