Some judge a man by the way he shakes a hand

And if he looks a man in the eyes

By the way he treats his tools

The way he treats a fool

And the things that he can buy

His shoes, how they shine

All that I admit



I judge a man by the woman

And her smile, the light in her eyes

The way she holds him when they dance

She's the window to his soul

His best friend, don't you know

You judge the day by the sun

But you judge a man by the woman



You can spend all day watching work and play

Get to know his habits and his friends

Learn what makes him laugh, pry into his past

Find out what makes him cry and makes him sin

You might think you can right through

Oh, but the best thing you can do



Is judge a man by the woman

And her smile, the light in her eyes

The way she holds him when they dance

She's the window to his soul

His best friend, don't you know

You judge the day by the sun

But you judge a man by the woman



[Instrumental Interlude]



Judge a man by the woman

And her smile or the light in her eyes

The way she holds him when they dance

She's the window to his soul

His best friend, don't you know

You judge the day by the sun

But you judge a man by the woman

You judge a man by the woman
