Elvis Presley - Maybellene Lyrics
(words & music by chuck berry)Maybellene, why cant you be true?Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?Youve 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,Shes bumper to bumber rollin side by side.Maybellene, why cant you be true?Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?Youve started back doing the things you used to do.The cadillac moved to a hundred and fourGot hot and wouldnt 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 cant you be true?Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?Youve started back doing the things you used to do.Maybellene, why cant you be true?Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?Youve started back doing the things you used to do.The motor cooled down, the heat went downAnd thats 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 its sittin stillAnd I caught mabellene at the top of the hill.Maybellene, why cant you be true?Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?Youve started back doing the things you used to do.Youve started back doing the things you used to do.
