[Bb]
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[Eb] Oh, Maybelline, [Bb] why can't you be true?
[F] You done started doing the things you used to [Bb] do.
I saw I was motivated over the [F] hill,
Saw Maybelline in the goop of the mill.
I kinda like rolling on an open road,
Nothing I'd run my feet ain't for.
I kinda like doing about 95,
Bumpity-bumpity rolling side to side.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[Bb] Oh, Maybelline, why [Bb] can't you be true?
[F] You done started back doing the things you [Bb] used to do.
I kinda like pulling up to 104,
Before I got hot and wouldn't do no more.
Gun got a cloud and [F] started to rain,
I tooted my horn for the passing lady.
Rainwater blowing all under my hood,
I knew that I was doing my motor good.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[Bb]

Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh, [Eb] Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[F] You done started back doing the things you [Bb] used to do.
Motor cooled down, the heat went down,
That's when I heard that highway sound.
I kinda like sitting like a towing a ledge,
110 and a half a mile ahead.
I kinda like looking like a steady still,
And I caught Maybelline at the [F] top of the hill.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[Bb]
[Eb] Oh, Maybelline, why [Bb] can't you be true?
[F] You done started back doing the things you used to do.
