You Cant Judge A Book Lyrics

You Can't Judge a Book

by Bo Diddley



You can't judge an apple by lookin' at the 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 -- whoa, you've misjudged me

I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover



( Aww, come on in here closer baby, hear what else I got to say --

You got your radio turned down too low -- turn it up! )



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 -- whoa, you've misjudged me

I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover



Aw, how am I doin', baby?



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



Oh, can't you see -- whoa, you've misjudged me

I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover
