Maybelline

(album: Rock'n Soul - 1965)

As I was motivating over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville
Cadillac rolling on an open road
But nothing outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doing about ninety-five
Bumper to bumper rolling side to side

Maybelline why can't you be true
Maybelline why can't you be true
You've done started back doing the things you used to do

Well the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and started to rain
Tooted my horn for the passing lane
The rain water poured up under my hood
Knew that were doing my motor good

Maybelline why can't you be true
Maybelline why can't you be true
You've done started back doing the things you used to do

The heat went down and the motor cooled down
That's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac looked like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
Cadillac looked like it's standing still
And I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill

Maybelline why can't you be true
Maybelline why can't you be true
You've done started back doing the things you used to do
