Now, you can't tell the honey, babe, lookin' at the bee
You can't tell an apple lookin' at the tree
Can't tell the sister lookin' at the brother
                                 Bb7
Can't tell a book lookin' at the cover
     Eb                     Bb
Baby can't you see how you misjudged me
      F                         Eb
I may look like a farmer, baby, but I'm a lover

Now, you can't judge the sugar lookin' in the cane
You can't tell a woman lookin' at her man

Now, you can't tell the fish lookin' in the pond
You can't judge a right lookin' at the wrong
