You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree
You can't judge honey by looking at the bee
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover, no
Can't you see
No, you misjudge me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover
No, no
You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane
You can't judge a woman by looking at her man
You can't judge a sister by looking at her brother
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover, no
Can't you see
Oh you misjudge me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
No, no
I bought a brand new airmobile
It was custom made, was a Flight De Ville
With a powerful motor and some hideaway wings
You can push on the button and you'll hear her sing
Oh you can't catch me, oh baby you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close, you know I'm gone like a cool breeze
New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers
And here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me
Then wavin' goodbye in a little old souped-up jitney
No, you can't catch me
I said you can't catch me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover, no
Can't catch me, I said you can't catch me
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover
