[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]
Oh-oh, can't you see?
Ohhh, you misjudged 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 a fish by lookin' in 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]
Oh-oh, can't you see?
Ohhh, you misjudged me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

[Verse 3]
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 daughter by looking at her mother
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, can't you see?
Ohhh, you misjudged me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
