Maybelline - John Hammond

Oh, Maybelline

Why can't you be true?

Oh, Maybelline

Why can't you be true?

You've started back doin'

The things you used to do

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?

Oh, Maybelline

Why can't you be true?

You've started back doin'

The things you used to do

Well,

The Cadillac moved to ahead of the Ford

A Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more

It just that time, it started to rain

I tooted my horn for the passin' lane

The rain water poured up

Under my motor 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've started back doin'

The things you used to do

Motor cooled down, the heat went down

That's when I heard that highway sound

Cadillac seemin' 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've started back doin'

The things you used to do
