You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover

(album: Patti LaBelle - 1977)

You can't judge an apple by looking at the tree.
Can't judge honey by looking at the bee.
Can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother.
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

Oh-oh, can't you see? You misjudged me, baby!
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover!
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane.
Can't judge a woman by looking at her man.
Can't judge one by looking at the other.
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

You can't judge a fish by looking in the bowl.
Can't judge right by looking to the wrong,
Can't judge a-one by looking to the other.
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
