As I was motivatin' over the hill

I saw Maybelline in a Coupe deVille

Cadillac rollin' on an open road

But nothin' out-run 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 pulled 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 passing 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 done started back doin' the things you used to do

------ harmonica ------

Well now, the heat went down and the motor cooled down

And that's when I heard that highway sound

Cadillac lookin' 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
