"You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover" lyrics

"You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover"
(originally by Bo Diddley)

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 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

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 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 an apple by looking at a 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 you misjudge me
I look like a farmer
But I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
