Maybelline why can't you be true oh Maybelline why can't you be true

You've started back doin' the things you used to do



As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville

Cadillac rollin' on an open road but nothin' outrun my V8 Ford

Cadillac doin' about ninety-five bumper to bumper rollin' side to side

Maybelline why can't you be true...



Well 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 passin' lane

The rain water poured up under my motor hood

I knew that were doin' my motor good

Maybelline why can't you be true...

[ piano - guitar ]

Well the motor cooled down the heat went down and

And that's when I heard that highway sound

Cadillac lookin' like a ton of lead a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead

Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill

Maybelline why can't you be true...

Oh Maybelline Maybelline Maybelline Maybelline...
