Lyrics
You Can't Judge a Book By The 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 an apple by looking at a tree
You can't judge honey by looking at the bee
You can't judge a sister by looking at her brother
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Oh, can't you see, oh, you misjudge me
I look like a farmer, but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond
You can't judge right by looking at the wrong
You can't judge one by looking at the other
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Oh can't you see, oh you misjudge me
I look like a farmer, but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane
You can't judge a woman by looking at her man
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Oh, can't you see, oh, you misjudge me
I look like a farmer, but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
