Foghat - Maybelline lyrics

rate me

oh, maybelline, why can't you be true

oh, maybelline, why can't you be true

you done started back doing the things you used to do

as I was motivatin' over the hill

I saw maybelline in a coup de ville

cadillac rollin' on the open road

nothin' outrun my V8 ford

cadillac doin' 'bout 95, bumper to bumper

rollin' side by side

maybelline, why can't you be true

whoa maybelline, why can't you be true

you done started back doing the things you used to do

cadillac pulled up ahead of the ford

ford got hot and wouldn't do no more

done got cloudy and it started to rain

I tooted my horn til I passed the lane

rain water blowin' all under my hood

I knew that I was doin' my motor good

maybelline, why can't you be true

whoa maybelline, why can't you be true

you done started back doin' the things you used to do

the motor cooled down, the heat went down

and that's when I heard the highway sound

cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead, 110 a half a mile ahead

cadillac lookin like it's sittin' in steel

and I called maybelline at the top of the hill

maybelline, why can't you be true

whoa maybelline, why can't you be true

you done start back doing the things you used to do
