Bo Diddley — You Can’t Judge a Book by Looking at the Cover

[Verse 1] You can't judge an apple by lookin' at a tree You can't judge honey by lookin' at the bee You can't judge a daughter by lookin' at the mother You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover [Chorus] Oh, can't you see Oh, you misjudge me I look like a farmer But I'm a lover Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover, oh [Bridge] Oh, come on in closer, baby Hear what else I gotta say! You got your radio turned down too low Turn it up! Ow! [Verse 2] You can't judge sugar by lookin' at the cane You can't judge a woman by lookin' at her man You can't judge a sister by lookin' at her brother You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover [Chorus] Oh, can't you see Oh, you misjudge me I look like a farmer But I'm a lover Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover, come on Ah, how am I doin', baby? Yeah [Verse 3] You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond You can't judge right from lookin' at the wrong You can't judge one by lookin' at the other You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover [Outro] Oh, can't you see Oh, you can't judge me Play like a farmer But I'm a lover Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover
