Maybelline, why can't you be true?
 
 Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
 
 You've started back doing 
 
 The things you used to do
 
  
  As I was motivatin' over the hill
 
 I saw Maybelline in a coup de ville
 
 A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
 
 Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
 
 The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five
 
 She's bumper to bumber 
 
 Rollin' side by side
  
 
 Maybelline, why can't you be true?
 
 Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
 
 You've started back doing 
 
 The things you used to do
  
 
 Pink in the mirror on top of the hill
 
 It's just like swallowin' up 
 
 A medicine pill
 
 First thing I saw that Cadillac grille
 
 Doin' a hundred 
 
 And ten gallopin' over that hill
 
 Offhill curve, a downhill stretch
 
 Me and that Cadillac neck by neck
  
 
 Maybelline, why can't you be true?
 
 Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
 
 You've started back doing 
 
 The things you used to do
  
 
 The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
 
 The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
 
 It then got cloudy and it started to rain
 
 I tooted my horn for a passin' lead
 
 The rain water blowin' all under my hood
 
 I knew that was doin' my motor good
  
 
 Maybelline, why can't you be true?
 
 Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
 
 You've started back doing 
 
 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 a-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've started back doing 
 
 Yhe things you used to do
