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

Yeah, because I was motivatin' over the hills I saw you and Maybelline in a Coupe DeVille
The cadillac rollin' on an open road but nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doin' about ninety-five with the 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

Well the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
Then got cloudy and started to rain, you tooted your horn for the passing lane
Rain water blowing all under your hood, I was afraid it wasn't doing your motor no 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

Well, the motor cooled down, the heat went down
That's when I heard the highway sound
That Cadillac lookin' like a ton of lead, a hundred and ten, a half a mile ahead
Well, the 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

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, let's do it one more time

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