Maybelline

(앨범: Here We A Go Go Again - 1964)

As I was motivating over the hill
I saw Mabellene in a Coup de Ville
A Cadillac a-rolling on the open road
Nothing will outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doing about 95
She's bumper to bumper, rolling side by side

Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
You've started back doing 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 then got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for a passing lane
The rainwater blowing all under my hood
I know that I was doing my motor good

Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
You've started back doing the things you used to do

The heat went down, the motor cooled down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac a-sitting like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten half a mile ahead
The Cadillac looking like it's sitting still
I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
You've started back doing the things you used to do
