Baby, why can't you be true?
Oh, baby, why can't
you be true?
It all started back
doing the things you used to do
Well, as I was a -motivating over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a coupe de ville
A Cadillac a -rollin' on the open road
Nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
A Cadillac a -doin' about 95
Bumper to bumper,
rollin' side to side
Maybelline,
why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybelline,
why can't you be true?
Yeah, that started back
doing the things you used to do
Well, it got a lot cooler to 104
Before it got hot
and wouldn't do no more
Then it got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passing rain
Rainwater flowing all under my hood
I knew that was doing my booty
some good
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
Oh, Maybelline,
why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Well, you done started back
a -doin' the things you used to do
Yeah, the world a -cooled down,
the heat went down
And that's when I heard
that highway sound
A Cadillac a -settin' like a torn leg
A hundred to ten, I have a lot of hair
A Cadillac a -lookin'
like a settin' steel
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 done started back
a -doin' the things you used to do
Yeah, you don't start it back
doing the things you used to do
You don't start it back
doing the things you used to do
