Chorus: (oh) maybellene, why can't you be true, whoah maybellene, why can't you be true You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do As i was motivatin over the hill, i saw maybellene in a coup de ville, A cadillac a-rollin on the open road, yeah, but nothin out race my v8 ford, The cadillac doin' 'bout 95, she's bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side. Chorus He cooled down, the motor cooled down
That's when i'd heard that highway sound I kept back sittin' like a ton of lead Got a hundred and ten a half mile ahead Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still And i caught maybellene at the top of the hill Chorus (instrumental break) Chorus You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do
