Well, you can't judge a book by looking at the cover
No, you can't judge a man by looking at the cover
And you can't judge a book by looking at the cover
When I was young and went to school
My mama taught me the magic rule
And what she said I tried my best to follow
She said
You can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
No, you can't judge a man by looking (at the cover)
And you can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
Then I left school and moved around
And what I saw and what I found
Made me remember what she said to follow
She said
You can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
No, you can't judge a man by looking (at the cover)
And you can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
And now I think, by now I'd know
That what appears is not always so
And I remember what she said to follow
She said
You can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
No, you can't judge a man by looking (at the cover)
No, you can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
No, you can't judge a man by looking at the cover
And you can't judge a book by looking at the cover
When I was young and went to school
My mama taught me the magic rule
And what she said I tried my best to follow
She said
You can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
No, you can't judge a man by looking (at the cover)
And you can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
Then I left school and moved around
And what I saw and what I found
Made me remember what she said to follow
She said
You can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
No, you can't judge a man by looking (at the cover)
And you can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
And now I think, by now I'd know
That what appears is not always so
And I remember what she said to follow
She said
You can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
No, you can't judge a man by looking (at the cover)
No, you can't judge a book by looking (at the cover)
