[F]
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[Eb] Oh, Maybelline, why [F] can't you be true?
You done started doing the things you used to do.
I was motivating over the hill, saw Maybelline in the coupe you built.
Kind of like rolling on an open road, nothing I'd run my PA for.
Kind of like doing about 95, bumping and bumping, rolling side to side.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[Bb] Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be [F] true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do.
I got like four of the hundred and [Bb] four, but four got hot and wouldn't do no more.
The gun got cloudy and [F] started to rain, I tooted my horn for the passing lady.
The rain water blowing all under my hood, I knew that I was doing my moral good.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[Eb] Oh, Maybelline, why [F] can't you be true?
You done started [Cm] back doing the things you [Bb] used to do.

Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[F] Oh, Maybelline, why [Bb] can't you be true?
[F] You done started back doing the things you [Bb] used to do.
The motor cooled down, the heat went down, that's when I heard that highway [F] sound.
Cadillac sitting like a torrent 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 done started back doing the things you used to do.
