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
