Nadine - Mos Def

As 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

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

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 up town

I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody’s tab

With a twenty dollar bill 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

She moves around like a wave of summer breeze

Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me 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
