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

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
