Lyrics:

As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe DeVille
Cadillac movin' down an open road
Nothin' outrunnin' my V-8 Ford
Cadillac doin' bout ninety-five
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.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, the Cadillac moved up ahead of the Ford
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 rain water blown all under my hood
I knew that were 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.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, now the motor cooled down
and the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac settin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
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...
