Maybelline Songtext
von Chuck Berry

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

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


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 was rolling all under my motor hood
I knew that was doing my motor good

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

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

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

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
