When I told you, I didn't need you
That's when, I needed you the most
But you weren't there
So I'll just cry myself to sleep

Just shaking and in pain
'Cause I'm so weak
And I tried to tell you
But you didn't listen

So now with tears in my eyes
As I lay here in bed
Now I know, that the book is different
Than the cover I read

Don't judge a book by the cover
Otherwise you might go under
You don't know what you're getting into, oohh
Don't judge a book by the cover
Otherwise you might discover
That everything is different than you expected
So listen to what your heart says

The inside was different than the outsides truth
It keeps changing
So what's the excuse
It should stay the same

Depressed and broken
Everything's gray
Speechless without anything to say
How could you do this to me

So now with tears in my eyes
As I lay here in bed
Now I know, that the book is different
Than the cover I read

Don't judge a book by the cover
Otherwise you might go under
You don't know what you're getting into, oohh
Don't judge a book by the cover
Otherwise you might discover
That everything is different than you expected
So listen to what your heart says

Yeah, dig a little deeper
See what message they convey
Yeah, find yourself a keeper
Before you let them take you away

Yeah, there's so many different covers
So many books upon the shelf
But the only thing that matters
Is the story that it tells, baby

Now I wipe the tears from eyes
And find someone new instead
There's no point in looking back
On a cover I once read, baby

Don't judge a book by the cover
Otherwise you might go under
You don't know what you're getting into, oohh
Don't judge a book by the cover
Otherwise you might discover
That everything is different than you expected
So listen to what your heart says
