You Can't Judge a Book by the 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

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
Well, I look like a farmer, but I′m a lover
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover, come on

Uhh, how I'm doing, baby?
Oh
Yeah

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?
I ain′t like a farmer, but I'm a lover
Please judge a book by looking at the cover
