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
