You Can’t Judge a Book by Looking at the Cover Lyrics

You can't judge an apple by looking at the tree
You can't judge honey by looking at the bee
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, well, you misjudge me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Yeah that's right
That's so good

You can't judge a fish by looking 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, well, you misjudge me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
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 sister by looking at her brother
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Oh, can't you see?
Oh, well, you misjudge me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
