Johnny Rivers Maybelline Lyrics

Maybelline Lyrics

As I was motivatin' over the hill 

  I saw Maybelline in a Coupe deVille 

  Cadillac rollin' on an open road 

  But nothin' out-run my V8 Ford 

  Cadillac doin' 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 and started to rain 

  I tooted my horn for the passing lane 

  The rain water poured up under my motor hood 

  I knew that were doin' my motor good 

  

  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 

  

  ------ harmonica ------ 

  

  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
