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 Maybelline why can't you be true You've done started back doin' the things you used to do
Well the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford The Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more It done got cloudy and started to rain Tooted my horn for the passin' lane The rain water poured up under my hood Knew that were doin' my motor good
Maybelline why can't you be true Maybelline why can't you be true You've done started back doin' the things you used to do
The heat went down and the motor cooled down That's when I heard that highway sound Cadillac looked like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead Cadillac looked like it's standin' still And I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill
Maybelline why can't you be true Maybelline why can't you be true You've done started back doin' the things you used to do
