Maybellene Songtext
von Marty Robbins

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

Well as I was motivatin' over the hill
Saw Maybelline in a Coupe DeVille
Cadillac rollin' on an open road
Nothin′ outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin′ about ninety-five
Bumper to bumper or side to side

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


Cadillac moved to a hundred and four
Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
Done got cloudy and began to rain
Tooted my horn for to pass the lane
Rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew it was doin′ my motor some good

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

Well, the motor cooled down
Heat went down
And that′s when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac settin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
Cadillac looked like it's sittin′ still
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 doin′ the things you used to do

Oh Maybelline, I don't know why I even bother to fool with you
I done asked you to change your ways but you done started
Back doin′ the same old things you're used to, and man...
