maybelline

why can't you be true

oh maybelline

why can't you be true

you done started doin' the things you used to do

as i was motorvaton over the hill

i saw maybelline in a coup de ville

a cadillac arollin' on the open road

nothin' will outrun my v8 ford

the cadillac doin' about ninetyfive

she's 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

the cadillac pulled up to a hundred and four

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 rainwater blowin' all under my hood

i know that i was doin' my motor good

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

oh 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

the motor cooled down the heat went down

and that's when i heard that highway sound

the cadillac 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 done started back doin' the things you used to do
