Lyrics The Yardbirds

The Yardbirds

You Can't Judge a Book By Looking At the Cover

You can't judge an apple by looking at the 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.

[Chorus]

Oh can't you see,

Oh, well, you misjudge me.

I look like a farmer,

But I'm a lover

Can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

Yeah, that's right,

That's so good.

You can't judge a fish by looking in the pond,

You can't judge right by 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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

Can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
