Chorus:
You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover
No you can't judge a land by looking at the color
And you can't judge a book by looking at the cover

When I was young and went to school, my mama taught me the magic rule
And what she said I tried my best to follow

She said - chorus

Then I left school and moved around, and what I saw and what I found
Made me remember what she said to follow

She said - chorus

(Solo)

And now I think, by now I know, that what appears is not always so
And I remember what she said to follow

She said - chorus
