Maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>Oh maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>You've started back doing the things you used to do.<br><br>As I was motivatin' over the hill<br>I saw maybellene in a coup de ville.<br>A cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,<br>Nothin' will outrun my v8 ford.<br>The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five,<br>She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side.<br><br>Maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>Oh maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>You've started back doing the things you used to do.<br><br>Pink in the mirror on top of the hill,<br>It's just like swallowin' up a medicine pill.<br>First thing I saw that cadillac grille<br>Doin' a hundred and ten gallopin' over that hill.<br>Offhill curve, a downhill strecth,<br>Me and that cadillac neck by neck.<br><br>Maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>Oh maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>You've started back doing the things you used to do.<br><br>The cadillac pulled up ahead of the ford,<br>The ford got hot and wouldn't do no more.<br>It then got clody and it started to rain,<br>I tooted my horn for a passin' lead<br>The rain water blowin' all under my hood,<br>I knew that was doin' my motor good.<br><br>Maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>Oh maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>You've started back doing the things you used to do.<br><br>The motor cooled down, the heat went down<br>And that's when I heard that highway sound.<br>The cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead<br>A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.<br>The cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still<br>And I caught maybellene at the top of the hill.<br><br>Maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>Oh maybellene, why can't you be true? <br>You've started back doing the things you used to do.
