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. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] Can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
