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
