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

As I was motorvatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coup de Ville
Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
Not to outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doin' about ninety-five
Bumper to bumper 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

The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy and it started to rain
So I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The 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

[Guitar Solo]

Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've 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 a-sittin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
The 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've started back doing the things you used to do
