Maybelline

Lyrics
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)

Sound of a motor coming over the hill
Saw a Maybelline and a Coupe de Ville (uh)
Cadillac burning up the open road
Nothing out on my V8 Ford
Cadillac doing about 95 (uh)
Bumper to bumper, we were side-by-side

Maybelline
(Maybelline, Maybelline, Maybelline)
Why can't you be true?
(Why can't, can't you be true?)

Wow, Maybelline!
(Maybelline, Maybelline, Maybelline)
Why can't you be true?
(Why can't you, can't you be true?)
You're done starting back and doing the things you used to do

(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)

Cadillac a-doin' about a hundred and four
Thought it got hot, it wouldn't do no more (huh)
Then it got cloudy and it started to rain
Shooted my hunts for the passing lane
Rainwater blowin' all on my hood (huh)
Know that was doin' my motor some good

Maybelline
(Maybelline, Maybelline, Maybelline)
Why can't you be true?
(Why can't, can't you be true?)

Wow, Maybelline!
(Maybelline, Maybelline, Maybelline)
Why can't you be true?
(Why can't you, can't you be true?)
You're done starting back and doing the things you used to do

(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)

Rainwater blowin' all out of my hood
Know that was doin' my motor some good (huh)
Motor cool down, the heat went down
That when I heard that how we sound

Called Maybelline at the top of the hill (huh)
Ask that woman as she is standing still
Cadillac lookin' like uncle Lin
Come on down, we have a mile to do

(Oh, May, Maybelline) Maybelline
(Maybelline, Maybelline)
Why can't you be true?
(Why can't, can't you be true?)

Wow, Maybelline!
(Maybelline, Maybelline)
Why can't you be true?
(Why can't you, can't you be true?)
You're done starting back and doing the things you used to do

You don't starting back and doing
The same old things, you used to do (ooh)
