You Can't Judge a Book by It's Cover Songtext
von 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
Can′t judge a book by looking at the cover, oh, my

Oh, come on in closer, baby
Hear what else I gotta say
You got your radio turned down too low
Turn it up, oh


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
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover, come on

You can't judge a fish by lookin′ in the pond
You can′t judge right from 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 can′t judge me?
Look like a farmer but I'm a lover
Can′t judge a book by looking at the cover
