You can't judge a book by its cover

You can't judge a book dear by its cover
You can't tell if it's good or bad
The cover may be in the brightest color
But inside the story may be sad


Pretty picture make the cover gay
Thought the pages may be stained with age
You can't judge a book by its cover
Till you've read what's written on each page


Just because there are dark clouds in the Heavens
Doesn't mean that it will always rain
Just because you see somebody smiling
Doesn't mean inbside there is no pain


So it doesn't matter what you hear
Don't believe it till you know it's true
You can't judge a book dear by its cover
Till you've read the story thru and thru
