Lyrics

Berry / fratto / freed - arc music corp. - bmi

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

As I was motivatin' over the hill, I saw maybelline in a coup de ville
Cadillac rollin' on the open road, nothin' outrun my v8 ford
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95, bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side

Maybelline, why can't you be true? whoa maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do

Cadillac pulled up ahead of the ford, ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
Done got cloudy and it started to rain, I tooted my horn til I passed the lane
Rain water blowin' all under my hood, I knew that I was doin' my motor good

Maybelline, why can't you be true? whoa maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done started back doin' the things you used to do

{Dave - solo - 3 verses}

The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard the highway sound
Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead, 110 a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin like it's sittin' in steel, and I called maybelline at the top of the hill

Maybelline, why can't you be true? whoa maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done start back doing the things you used to do

{Dave - solo to fade}
