Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing

The things you used to do

As I was motivatin' over the hill

I saw Maybelline in a coup de ville
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford

The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five
She's bumper to bumber
Rollin' side by side


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

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


Pink in the mirror on top of the hill
It's just like swallowin' up
A medicine pill

First thing I saw that Cadillac grille
Doin' a hundred
And ten gallopin' over that hill

Offhill curve, a downhill stretch
Me and that Cadillac neck by neck


Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing

The things you used to do

The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford

The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for a passin' lead

The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good


Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing

The things you used to do

The motor cooled down, the heat went down

And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead

The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
And 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 doing

Yhe things you used to do
