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 book 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 book by it¡¯s lover¡±
|
Maybe my coldness is a mask, maybe your loving will last
|
But can¡¯t judge a book by it¡¯s cover
|
|
Somewhere beyond the skin, somewhere deep within
|
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 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
|
And you can¡¯t judge a book 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 book by it¡¯s lover
|
