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
