YOU CANâ‚¬â„¢T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITâ‚¬â„¢S COVER
WRITERS STEVIE WONDER, HENRY COSBY, SYLVIA MOY
COPYRIGHT 1969

Hey there miss fine
Sweet little clinging vine
Your actions kind of show me you love me truly, yeah
Youâ‚¬â„¢re warmer than July, sweet as apple pie
I canâ‚¬â„¢t let you know youâ‚¬â„¢re getting to me

Yeah, â‚¬Ëœcause you canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s cover
My papa used to say â‚¬Å“look child, look beyond a tender smile
â‚¬ËœCause canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s loverâ‚¬?

Girl, Iâ‚¬â„¢m sweet on you
Though you canâ‚¬â„¢t see through this unconcerned expression Iâ‚¬â„¢ve been wearing
Hey, I practice looking bored so you can feel ignored
But that donâ‚¬â„¢t mean that Iâ‚¬â„¢m not really caring
Yeah, â‚¬Ëœcause you canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s cover
And you canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s loverâ‚¬?
Maybe my coldness is a mask, maybe your loving will last
But canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s cover

Somewhere beyond the skin, somewhere deep within
We may find that love is there to test us, yeah
But weâ‚¬â„¢ve got to have the nerve to give it all it deserves
And maybe weâ‚¬â„¢ll find something precious
Yeah, â‚¬Ëœcause you canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s cover
Only time itâ‚¬â„¢s gonna show, only time will let us know
â‚¬ËœCause you canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s cover
And you canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s lover
Weâ‚¬â„¢ve got to search each otherâ‚¬â„¢s minds
Weâ‚¬â„¢ve got to read between the lines
Oh, take a different look
And make our hearts an open book
Oh, you canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s cover
No, no, no, no
And you canâ‚¬â„¢t judge a book by itâ‚¬â„¢s lover
