(willie dixon) 1962



You can't judge an apple by looking at a 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.



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 come on in closer baby,

Hear what else i gotta say!

You got your radio turned down too low,

Turn it up!



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.



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.



You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond,

You can't judge right from 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.



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.
