lyrics

She was born on a Leap Day
Fresh fried baby with a new name
Maybe she's born with it in her genes,
Maybe they called her Maybelline

Maybe's got a future in sales
(she) knows the ins and out of retail
knows we want what we don't got
a loving father or a new yacht

Maybe you can do it
Maybe you'll get through it
Maybe, get some sleep at night

You were entranced
with another advance
I was just another guy
and all I want
is to be like Maybelline.

Maybe's got this fresh, unique way
Of seeing everyone's unique traits
Even if you're nothing to no one
Maybe will think that your time has come

He was born in an armchair
steady diet of a dead stare
steadily dying while he sits there
and on the screen,
he sees Maybelline.

Maybe you can do it
Maybe you'll get through it
Maybe, get some sleep at night

You were entranced
with another advance
I was just another guy
and all I want
is to be like Maybelline.

Her hair was dressed in white
and her eyes were made of blue

But the facts remain
and the people stay the same
old habits die hard
and so will you

Maybe kicked it up in high gear
She lived and died herself, a Leap Year
extra time for cheap tears
a campaign promise for
some cheap beer.

Maybe you can do it
Maybe you'll get through it
Maybe, get some sleep at night

You were entranced
with another advance
I was just another guy
and all I want

Is to be like Maybelline,
I wanna be like Maybelline.
I wanna be like Maybelline.
I'll never be like Maybelline.
