As I was motivatin' over the hill,
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville,
Cadillac rollin' on an open road,
But nothin' out run my V-8 Ford,
Cadillac doing 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 it started to rain,
I tooted my horn for the passing lane,
The rain water poured up under my hood,
I knew that was doin' my motor good.

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.

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.
