Hey there miss fine, sweet little clinging vine Your actions kind of show me you love me truly, yeah You're warmer than July, sweet as apple pie I can't let you know you're getting to me Yeah, 'cause you can't judge a book by it's cover My papa used to say, "Look child Look beyond a tender smile 'Cause can't judge a look by it's lover." Girl, I'm sweet on you though you can't see through This unconcerned expression I've been wearing Hey, I practice looking bored so you can feel ignored But that don't mean that I'm not really caring Yeah, 'cause you can't judge a book by it's cover And you can't judge a look by it's lover Maybe my coldness is a mask, maybe your loving ways will last But can't judge a book by it's cover Somewhere beyond the skin, somewhere deep within (somewhere, somewhere) We may find that love is there to test us, yeah But we've got to have the nerve to give it all it deserves And maybe, baby, we'll find something precious, yeah 'Cause you can't judge a book by it's cover Only time it's gonna show, only time will let us know 'Cause you can't judge a book by it's cover, baby, ooh And you can't judge a look by it's lover We've got to search each other's minds We've got to read between the lines Oh, take a different look And make our hearts an open book Oh, you can't judge a book by it's cover No, no, no, no And you can't judge a look by it's lover
