Lyrics for Maybellene

Maybelline, why can't you be true? Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true? You done started doing the things you used to do As I was motorvatin' over the hill I saw Maybelline in a Coupe DeVille Cadillac rollin' on the open road Nothin' outrun my V8 Ford Cadillac doin' about 95 We was bumper to bumper, rollin' side to 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 A Cadillac pulled up to 104 My Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more The gun got cloudy and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passin' lane Rain water blowin' all under my hood I knew that was doin' my motor good 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 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 Motor cooled down, the heat went down That's when I heard that highway sound Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' 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 done started back doing the things you used to do
