Songtexte
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
No, can't you see
How you've misjudged me?
I may look like a farmer, but I'm a lover
And you can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover, no
No, no, no
[Verse 2]
You can't judge sugar by lookin' at the cane
No, you can't judge a woman just by lookin' at the name
Oh, you can't judge one by lookin' at the other
You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover
[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see
Just how you've misjudged me?
I may look like a farmer, but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover, no
[Instrumental]
You can't judge a fish by lookin' at the pond
You can't judge right from lookin' at the wrong
You can't judge a sister by lookin' at the brother
You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover
[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see
How you've misjudged me?
I may look like a farmer, but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover
Oh, can't you see
Oh, how you've misjudged me?
Yeah, I may look like a farmer, but, yeah, I'm a lover
And you can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover, no
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
