You Can’t Judge a Book By the Cover / You Can't Catch Me

You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree

You can't judge honey by looking at the bee

You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover, no

Can't you see?

No, you misjudge me

I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

Can't judge a book by looking at the cover, no

You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane

You can't judge a woman by looking at her man

You can't judge a sister by looking at her brother

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

No, can't you see?

Oh, you misjudge me

I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

Can't judge a book by looking at the cover, no no

I bought a brand new air-mobile

It custom-made, 'twas a Flight De Ville

With a powerful motor and some hideaway wings

You can push on the button and you'll hear her sing

Oh, you can't catch me

Oh baby, you can't catch me

'Cause if you get too close, you know I'm gone like a cool breeze

New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours

I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers

Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me

Wavin' goodbye in a little old souped up jimmy

No, you can't catch me

I said, you can't catch me

I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

Can't judge a book by looking at the cover, no

Can't catch me

I said, you can't catch me

I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

Can't judge a book by looking at the cover
