| Hey there, mister fine
|
| Sweet little thing of mine
|
| Actions kind of show me you love me truly
|
| The woman that’s your life
|
| Sweeter than an apple pie
|
| But I can’t let you know you’re getting to me
|
| You can’t judge a book by its cover
|
| Whoa, my papa used to say it now
|
| Listen to your good father
|
| You can’t judge the love by the lover
|
| And you sure can’t judge a book by its cover
|
| Born sweet on you
|
| Though you can’t see through
|
| There’s some concern its fresh and not to worry
|
| Oh, I take to being low
|
| So you can feel ignored
|
| But that don’t mean that I’m not really caring
|
| You can’t judge a book by its cover
|
| Baby, my coldness isn’t bad
|
| And you are gonna know the way to live
|
| You can’t judge the love by the lover
|
| And you sure can’t judge a book by its cover
|
| Gonna bring it on down
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| Yes I’m wary on the skin
|
| But somewhere deep within
|
| We might find that love that better tests us
|
| Woah, ain’t we got to have more
|
| Give it all it deserves
|
| And maybe, baby we’ll find something precious
|
| You can’t judge a book by its cover
|
| Oh, Papa would set me on his knee
|
| And you know he preached to me
|
| You can’t judge the love by the lover, no, no
|
| And you sure can’t judge a book by its cover
|
| Oh, he may be nine on the outside
|
| Oh, but so unkind on the inside
|
| You better take a deeper look
|
| Oh, before you buy that book
|
| No, no, remember
|
| I been ready from the go, no, no, no, no
|
| So you can tell you ain’t been told |
