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

Cadillac movin' down an open road nothin' outrunnin' my V-8 Ford

Cadillac doin' bout ninety-five 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 doin' the things you used to do



Well the Cadillac moved 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 blown all under my hood I knew that were doin' my motor good

Maybelline why can't you be true...

[ guitar ]

Well now the motor cooled down and the heat went down

And that's when I heard that highway sound

Cadillac settin' 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...
