Song 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.

[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.

Willie Dixon
