You can’t judge a book by its cover
You can’t tell dear if it’s good or bad
The cover may be in the brightest color
But inside the story may be sad

Pretty pictures make the cover gay
Though the pages may be stained with age
You can’t judge a book by its cover
Till you’ve read what’s written on each page

Just because there are dark clouds in the heavens
Doesn’t always mean that it will rain
Just because you see somebody smiling
Doesn’t mean inside there is no pain

So it doesn’t matter what you hear
Don’t believe it till you know it’s true
You can’t judge a book by its cover
Till you’ve read the story through and through

You can’t judge a book by its cover
Till you’ve read what’s written on each page
