Nadine Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

As I got on a city bus 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 like 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 shoutin' like a southern diplomat 

Nadine 

Oh, honey, is that you? 

Woah, woah Nadine 

Oh honey, is that you? 

Seems like every time I catch you, baby 

You've got somethin' else to do 

You're off with somethin', somethin' new 

I'm downtown, searchin' for her, lookin' all around 

Saw her gettin' in a yellow cab headin' uptown 

I caught a loaded taxi, picked up everybody's tab 

Tipped a twenty dollar bill, I said "You catch that yellow cab" 

Nadine 

Oh, honey, is that you? 

Woah, woah Nadine 

Oh honey, is that you? 

Seems like every time I catch you, baby 

You're off with somethin' new 

Seems like every time I see you, baby 

You've got somethin' else to do 

Seems like every time I see you, baby 

You've got somethin' else to do 

You've always got somethin' else to do 

Nadine, Nadine 

Nadine make a scene 

Nadine keep it clean 

Nadine eat a bean, Nadine 

Nadine, Nadine 

Nadine, Nadine
