Yeah, i’m all over this
I’m out of obsession
Over i’ll see
I swear, i swear
I’m out on a mission
Don’t worry me with "no better"
It’s a lie
I swear, i swear
What’s the damage
I can’t take any more
Where’s the ocean or place to die
Better hands than mine willing to share
Yeah, i’m all over this
I’m into the shelter
My mind is scarred with my name
I swear
Na, na, na, na, na…
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
(chuck berry)
As i get 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 the bus!"
Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time i see you darling, you work on something new
I saw her from the corner as she turned and doubled back
And started walking towards her coffee coloured cadillac
I’m pushing through the crowd trying to get to where she’s at
And i was campain shouting like a southern diplomat(???)
Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time i see you darling, you work on something new
Well i was downtown searching for her looking all around
I saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi paid off everybodies tab
I’ve slipped a twenty dollar bill and said "catch that yellow cab!"
Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time i see you darling, you got something else to do
Oh nadine
– guitar solo –
Well, she moves around like a wayward summer breeze
"go driver go go, catch her for me please!"
I’m moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window, tryin’ to make her hear
Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time i see you darling, you work on something new
Oh nadine
Oh nadine
Oh nadine
Oh go driver
Go go
Go driver go
Go driver go
Go go, go go, go go, go go
Nadine…
i said nadine, whatcha thinkin’ of?
why don’t you love me like you did again
because lately, all the stars above
have been holding hands and singing your name
well unchain me from your ball of love
and i promise not to sin again
because nadine, you’re the only one
drives all the boys crazy insane
she doesn’t love me quite
the way that i hoped she would
nadine’s got that certain vibe
that makes you feel
you ain’t doing the things you should
i said nadine, it’s you i’m dreaming of
and there’s one thing i wanted to say
and that’s maybe, when all is said and done
we can be lovers at the end of the day
no one in this world
makes me feel the way she do
oh nadine made me feel so fine
and then she made me feel so blue
well i just used to sit and smile
and think it wasn’t meant to be
‘cause i don’t know
if you were mine
i don’t think i would know just what to do with you
nadine
i said nadine, tell me what you’re thinking of
i said nadine, i’m in love
i said nadine, tell me about the stars above
i said nadine, i’m in love
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 the bus"
Nadine
Oh, honey, is that you
Woah, nadine
Oh, honey, is that you
Seems every time i see you, baby, you’ve got somethin’ else to do
Woah, i saw from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin’ toward a coffee-colored cadillac
Pushin’ through the crowd, tryin’ to get to where she’s at
I was campaign-shouting like a southern diplomat
Chorus repeat
You’re off with someone, someone new!
Downtown, searchin’ for her, lookin’ all around
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi, picked up everybody’s tab
Tipped a twenty dollar bill, i said "you catch that yellow cab"
Chorus repeat last line repeat x4
Nadine
Nadine
Nadine
Make a scene
Nadine
Keep it clean
Nadine
Eat a bean, nadine
