Maybelline

Simon And Garfunkel

Maybelline

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

About this Song

Unfortunately, there seems to be a misunderstanding. 'Maybelline' is not a song by Simon and Garfunkel, it is actually a 1955 song by Chuck Berry. However, I can help with general information about the themes in Simon & Garfunkel's music. Their songs often explore themes of love, loneliness, and social change. They are known for their poetic lyrics and harmonies that capture the zeitgeist of the 1960s. If you are looking for a specific song, please provide the correct title, and I will be happy to help.
