I'm cynical, they say   I'm petrified, maybe   Disgusted by his ways   And a conscience is clear   And I fear it is free to betray      Premeditated crime   Now he plans and drinks until it's time   A crutch to use upon his prey   She didn't know it's not the way to love      And I will judge a book by its cover   Because you know it's all we, know it's all we have   And I will judge a book by its cover   So break my binding and tear my paper   Just leave a page to sign your name      It's evident today   And the evidence lays awake   Regretting her last drink   Drank her way to the bed   And she said, "Go ahead," with a wink      Justifies his ways   Now he can't look at her face   He utters those three words   And she's oblivious, but tomorrow she will learn      And I will judge a book by its cover   Because you know it's all we, know it's all we have   And I will judge a book by its cover   So break my binding and tear my paper   Just leave a page to sign your name      Don't worry, I can keep a secret   Don't worry, he can keep a secret   Don't worry   Come on now, doll   You know you've got a secret      And I will judge a book by its cover   Because you know it's all we, you know it's all we have   And I will judge a book by its cover   So break my binding and tear my paper   Just leave a page to sign your name
