Lyrics for Maybelline
Maybelline why can't you be true Oh Maybelline why can't you be true You just 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 rolling on an open road But nothing outrun my V8 Ford Cadillac doing about ninety-five We was bumper to bumper rolling side to side Maybelline why can't you be true Oh Maybelline why can't you be true You just started back doing the things you used to do The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more It done got cloudy and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passing lane The rain water was rolling all under my motor hood I knew that was doing my motor good Maybelline why can't you be true Oh Maybelline why can't you be true You just started back doing the things you used to do Maybelline why can't you be true Oh Maybelline why can't you be true You just started back doing the things you used to do The motor cooled down, the heat went down And that's when I heard that highway sound The Cadillac sitting like a ton of lead A hundred and ten and-a half a mile ahead Cadillac looking like it's sitting still And I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill Maybelline why can't you be true Oh Maybelline why can't you be true You just started back doing the things you used to do
