I'm going to sing a song.
[E]
Sound of a motor coming over the hill, saw Maybelline [E] in a coupe de bill.
Kind of like a burning up open road, nothing out of line in my V8 pole.
Kind of like a doing about a nine to five, I'm at the bar, but we were side by side.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[A] Oh, Maybelline, why [E] can't you be true?
You done started back [B] doing the things you used to [E] do.
Kind of like a doing about a hundred fold, old guy Hollywood would do no more.
Then it got cloudy and it started to rain, tooted my horn for the best thing.
Rain water blowing on my hood, told dad was doing my motor some good.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[A] Oh, Maybelline, why can't [E] you be true?
You [A] done started back [F#] doing the things you [E] used to do.

Rain water blowing on my hood, told dad was doing my motor some good.
Motor cooled down, the heat went down, that's when I heard that highway sound.
Caught Maybelline at the top of the hill, asked that woman like she's Patti Dill.
She had her ankle looking like a hunk of lead, on a ninety-half a mile.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[A] Oh, Maybelline, why can't [E] you be true?
[A] You done started back [B] doing the things you [E] used to do.
You [A] done started back [B] doing the same old things you used to [E] do.
