You Can’t Judge a Book by Looking at the Cover Bo Diddley

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Oh, come on in closer, baby
Hear what else I gotta say!
You got your radio turned down too low
Turn it up!
Ow!

[Verse 2]
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
