Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do
verse 1
As I was motivatin' over the hill, I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville
Cadillac rollin' on the open road, nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95, bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do
verse 2
Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford, Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
Done got cloudy and it started to rain, I tooted my horn 'til I passed the lane
Rainwater blowin' all under my hood, I knew that I was doin' my motor good
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do
Instrumental
verse 3
N.C.
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' in steel and I called Maybellene at the top of the hill
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do
