Oh, 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? 
Oh, Maybelline 
Why can't you be true? 

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

Well, 
The Cadillac moved to ahead of the Ford 
A Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more 
It just that time, it started to rain 
The rain water poured up 
Under my motor hood 
I knew that were doin' my motor good 

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 

Motor cooled down, the heat went down 
That's when I heard that highway sound 
Cadillac seemin' 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 
Why can't you be true? 

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