Suzanne Vega - Book & A Cover lyrics

What's that they told you about a book & a cover? Don't judge so quickly, Is it too much too remember? 'Cause pictures lie, you know. I'll show it's so. Just give it one thought. What's that they taught you? To revere a kind of beauty? To paint on that pretty veneer and try to hide whatever's dirty? Well, faces lie. You'll see no sympathy. Just give it one thought. Come here and I will whisper true about the things I know of you, and you will recognize them, always... As near to you as breath and bone, so dear to me, and yours alone, and I will love you for them, always... What's that they tell you about a book & a cover? Don't judge so quickly. They'll tell you one thing and then another. But see what lies within, under the skin. Just give it one thought.
