Lyrics
You Can't Judge a Good Book By Its Cover
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can’t judge a book by its cover
You can’t tell dear if it’s good or bad
The cover may be in the brightest color
But inside the story may be sad
Pretty pictures make the cover gay
Though the pages may be stained with age
You can’t judge a book by its cover
Till you’ve read what’s written on each page
Just because there are dark clouds in the heavens
Doesn’t always mean that it will rain
Just because you see somebody smiling
Doesn’t mean inside there is no pain
So it doesn’t matter what you hear
Don’t believe it till you know it’s true
You can’t judge a book by its cover
Till you’ve read the story through and through
You can’t judge a book by its cover
Till you’ve read what’s written on each page
