You Can’t Judge A Book By The Cover Lyrics By Bo Diddley

    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

    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

    oh come on in closer baby
    hear what else i gotta say
    you got your radio turned down too low
    turn it up
    ow

    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

    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

    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

    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
