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

And You Can't Judge a Book by looking at the cover
