Hey there Miss Fine, sweet little clinging vine
Your actions kind of show me you love me truly, yeah
You're warmer than July, sweet as apple pie
I can't let you know you're getting to meYeah 'cause you can't judge a book by its cover
My papa used to say, "Look child, look beyond a tender smile
'Cause can't judge a book by its lover"Girl, I'm sweet on you, though you can't see through
This unconcerned expression I've been wearing
Hey, I practice looking bored so you can feel ignored
But that don't mean that I'm not really caringYeah 'cause you can't judge a book by its cover
And you can't judge a book by its lover
Maybe my coldness is a mask, maybe your loving will last
But can't judge a book by its coverSomewhere beyond the skin, somewhere deep within
We may find that love is there to test us, yeah
But we've got to have the nerve to give it all it deserves
And maybe we'll find something preciousYeah 'cause you can't judge a book by its cover
Only time it's gonna show, only time will let us know
'Cause you can't judge a book by its cover
And you can't judge a book by its loverWe've got to search each other's minds
We've got to read between the lines
Oh, take a different look
And make our hearts an open bookOh, you can't judge a book by its cover, no, no
No, no and you can't judge a book by its lover
