you can't judge a book

well

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

no

you can't judge a man by looking

and you can't judge a book by looking. 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

no

you can't judge a man by looking

and you can't judge a book by looking. 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

no

you can't judge a man by looking

no

you can't judge a book by looking
