1:      You can't judge a apple by lookin' at the tree.

        Can't judge a honey by lookin' at the bee.

        Can't judge a daughter by lookin' at the mother.

        You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.

CHORUS: 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 lookin' at the cover.

2:      You can't judge sugar by lookin' at the pan.

        Can't judge a woman by lookin' at her man.

        Can't judge one by lookin' at the other.

        You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.

CHORUS: Oh-oh, can't you see? You misjudged me!

        I look like a farmer but--I'm a lover!

        Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.

3:      You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond.

        Can't judge right by lookin' at the wrong,

        Can't judge a-one by lookin' at the other.

        You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.

CHORUS: Oh-oh, can't you see? You misjudged me!

        I look like a farmer but--I'm a lover!

        Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.

4:      Can't judge a apple by lookin' at the tree, baby.

        Can't judge honey by lookin' at the bee.

        Can't judge a daughter by lookin' at the mother.

        You can't a book by lookin' at the cover.

CHORUS: Oh-oh, can't you see? You misjudged me!

        I look like a farmer but--I'm a lover!

        Can't judge a book a-by lookin' at the cover.
