I'm cynical, they say.

Petrified, maybe.

Disgusted by his ways,

And a conscious is clear and I fear it is free to betray.

Premeditated crime,

Now he plans and drinks until it's time

A crutch to use upon his prey,

She didn't know, it's not the way to love.

And I will judge a book by it's cover.

Because you know it's all we, know it's all we have.

And I will judge a book by it's cover.

So break my binding and tear my paper,

Just leave a page to sign your name.

It's evident today, and the evidence lays awake,

Regretting her last drink.

Drank her way to the bed and she said go ahead with a wink

Justifies his ways, and he can't look at her face.

He utters those three words,

She's oblivious, but tomorrow she will learn.

And I will judge a book by it's cover.

Because you know it's all we, know it's all we have.

And I will judge a book by it's cover.

So break my binding and tear my paper,

Just leave a page to sign your name.

Don't worry I can keep a secret.

Don't worry he can keep a secret.

Don't worry,

Come on now doll you know you've got a secret.

And I will judge a book by it's cover.

Because you know it's all we, you know it's all we have.

And I will judge a book by it's cover.

So break my binding and tear my paper,

Just leave a page to sign your name.
