Willie Dixon
You Can’t Judge a Book by Looking
[Verse 1]
You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree
You can't judge a honey by looking at the bee
You can't judge the right by looking at the wrong
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

[Chorus]
Oh can't you see
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

[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]
Oh can't you see
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

Oh baby looking good
You got your radio turned down too low
Turn it up!

[Verse 4]
You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother
You can't judge a sister by looking at the brother
You can't judge one by looking at the other
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

[Chorus]
Oh can't you see
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

[Verse 5]
You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree
You can't judge a honey by looking at the bee
You can't judge the right by looking at the wrong
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

[Chorus]
Oh can't you see
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

[Outro]
Oh that's fine
You got your radio turned down too high
Turn it down!
