(Words & music by Chuck Berry)Maybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do.As I was motivatin' over the hillI saw Maybellene in a coup de ville.A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford.The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five,She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side.Maybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do.The cadillac moved to a hundred and fourgot hot and wouldn't do no moreIt got cloudy and started to rainTooted my horn in the passing laneThe rain water blowin all under my hoodI knew that was doin' my motor no goodMaybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do.Maybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do.The motor cooled down, the heat went downAnd that's when I heard that highway sound.The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of leadA hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' stillAnd I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill.Maybellene, why can't you be true?Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?You've started back doing the things you used to do.
