Oh can't you see, Oh you misjudge me, I look like a farmer, But I'm a lover, You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
Hear what else I gotta say! You got your radio turned down too low, Turn it up! You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane, You can't judge a woman by looking at her man, You can't judge a sister by looking at her brother, You can't judge a book by looking at the cover. Oh can't you see, Oh you misjudge me, I look like a farmer, But I'm a Lover, You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
You can't judge right from looking at the wrong, You can't judge one by looking at the other, You can't judge a book by looking at the cover. Oh can't you see, Oh you misjudge me, I look like a farmer, But I'm a lover, You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
