Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
Oh Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
You`ve started back doing the things you used to do.
As I was motivatin` over the hill
I saw Mabellene 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.
Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
Oh Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
You`ve started back doing the things you used to do.
Pink in the mirror on top of the hill,
it`s just like swallowin` up a medicine pill.
First thing I saw that Cadillac grille
doin` a hundred and ten gallopin` over that hill.
Offhill curve, a downhill strecth,
me and that Cadillac neck by neck.
Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
Oh Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
You`ve started back doing the things you used to do.
The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford,
the Ford got hot and wouldn`t do no more.
It then got clody and it started to rain,
I tooted my horn for a passin` lead
the rain water blowin` all under my hood,
I knew that was doin` my motor good.
Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
Oh Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
You`ve started back doing the things you used to do.
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
and that`s when I heard that highway sound.
The Cadillac a-sittin` like a ton of lead
a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.
The Cadillac lookin` like it`s sittin` still
and I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill.
Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
Oh Mabellene, why can`t you be true?
You`ve started back doing the things you used to do.
