I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat,
|
I thought I saw my future bride walking 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
|
|
[Alternate verse: Seems like every time I catch you,
|
datcha you're up to something new]
|
|
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
|
|
Downtown searching for her, looking all around.
|
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town.
|
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab.
|
With a twenty dollar bill, told him 'catch that yellow cab.'
|
|
She move around like a wave of summer breeze,
|
go, driver, go, go, catch her balmy breeze.
|
Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier.
|
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear.
