refrain:
Maybelline why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline why can't you be true
You just started back doing the things you used to do
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
We was bumper to bumper rolling side to side
refrain
The Cadillac pulled up to a hundred and four
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 was rolling all under my motor hood
I knew that was doing my motor good
refrain (2x)
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac sitting like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten and-a half a mile ahead
Cadillac looking like it's sitting still
And I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill
refrain
