Maybellene Lyrics by Bob Luman

Gettin’ Back to Norma

1970

Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done started back doin' the things you used to do
Now as I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe DeVille
Cadillac movin' on an open road
But nothin' outrunnin' my V8 Ford
Cadillac was doin' about 95
Bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done started back doin' the things you used to do
Well the Cadillac moved to 104
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
Done got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rain water poured all under my motor hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done 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 done started back doin' the things you used to do
