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
seems like every time i see you darling you got something 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 to get to where she’s at
and i was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat
nadine honey is that you
oh nadine honey where are you
seems like every time i catch up with you you’re up to something new
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 twentydollar 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 something new
4
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 honey is that you
seems like every time i see you darling you’re up to something new
