[Verse 1]
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]
Can't you see
Oh oh-
You misjudge me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
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 you see
Oh oh-
You misjudge me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

[Instrumental]
Ooh-

[Verse 3]
You can't judge a fish by looking at 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 2]
Can't you see
Oh oh!-
You misjudge me
You look like a fighter but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

[Outro]
Oh oh! -
(You can't judge a book)
(Can't judge a book) [Repeated to end]
