Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done start back doin' the things you used to do
[Verse 2]
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville
Cadillac rollin' on the open road
Nothing outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95
Bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side
[Verse 3]
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Whoa, Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done start back doin' the things you used to do
[Verse 4]
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 till I passed the lane
Rainwater blowin' all under my hood
I knew that I was doin' my motor good
[Verse 5]
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Whoa, Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done start back doin' the things you used to do
(Whoa)
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Whoa, Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done start back doin' the things you used to do
