Long ago my father said to me
Never judge a book by the cover
Once you know what's written deep inside
You might have to change your mind
Never judge a man upon his looks
Get to know him first and discover
If he can be trusted all the way
All the way
Baby, it's the singer not the song
That really matters
Baby, it's the singer not the song
Not the song
Baby, it's the singer not the song
That really matters
Baby, it's the singer not the song
So don't forget him now
Don't listen to the tune
He's gonna sing to you
Before you know for sure
That every single word is true
I remember daddy warning me
Never judge a rose by a color
Stop and smell the perfume here that lies
And don't just believe your eyes
Never judge a man upon his looks
Get to know him first and discover
If he can be trusted all the way
All the way
Baby, it's the singer not the song
That really matters
Baby, it's the singer not the song
Not the song
Baby, it's the singer not the song
That really matters
Baby, it's the singer not the song
So don't forget him now
Don't listen to the tune
He's gonna sing to you
Before you know for sure
That every single word is true
It's the singer, not the song
It's the singer, yeah, not the song
It's the singer, not the song
Not the song (not the song)
Baby, it's the singer not the song
That really matters
Baby, it's the singer not the song
So don't forget him now
Don't listen to the tune
He's gonna try to sing to you
Before you know for sure
That every single word is true, humm, yeah
Baby, it's the singer not the song
That really matters
Baby, it's the singer not the song
Baby, it's the singer not the song
That really matters
Baby, it's the singer not the song
