Maybelline,
why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybelline,
why can't you be true?
Done started back
doing the things you used to do
As I was motivating over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a coupe de ville
Cadillac rollin' on an open road
Nothin' I'd run my V8 for
Cadillac doin' about 95
And we was bumpin' and bumpin',
rollin' side by side
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybelline,
why can't you be true?
You done started back
doing the things you used to do
Cadillac pulled to 104
Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
Dunn got cloudy and started to rain
Tooted my horn for the passing lane
Rainwater blowin' all under my hood
I knew I was doin' my motor good
Maybelline,
why can't you be true?
Maybelline, oh Maybelline
Maybelline, why can't you be true
Maybelline, you done started back
doin' the things you used to do
Maybelline
Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started back
doing the things you used to do
My motor cooled down,
the heat went down
And that's when I heard
that highway sound
Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead
110, half a mile ahead
Cadillac looked like it's sittin' still
And I called Maybelline at the top
of the hill
Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started back
doing the things you used to do
Thank you.
