Maybelline Songtext
von Marty Robbins

Maybelline, why can′t you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do

Well as I was motivatin′ over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a coup de ville
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
The cadillac doin′ ′bout ninety-five
bumper to bumber rollin' side by side

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


The Cadillac moved ti hundred nd four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for a passin′ lead
The rain water blowin′ all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good

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

The motor cooled down, the speed went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac a-sittin′ like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
The Cadillac lookin′ like it's sittin′ 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've done started back doing the things you used to do
