Bb 
Now, you can't tell the honey, babe, lookin' at the bee  
 
You can't tell an apple lookin' at the tree  
 
Can't tell the sister lookin' at the brother   
                                 Bb7 
Can't tell a book lookin' at the cover   
     Eb                     Bb 
Baby can't you see how you misjudged me 
      F                         Eb  
I may look like a farmer, baby, but I'm a lover  
Bb  
Can't tell a book lookin' at the cover 
 
SOLO 
 

Bb 
Now, you can't judge the sugar lookin' in the cane   
 
You can't tell a woman lookin' at her man   
 
Can't judge a father lookin' at the brother   
                                 Bb7 
Can't tell a book lookin' at the cover 
     Eb                     Bb 
Baby can't you see how you misjudged me 
       F                        Eb  
I may look like a farmer, baby, but I'm a lover  
Bb  
Can't tell a book lookin' at the cover 
Bb 
Now, you can't tell the fish lookin' in the pond 
 
You can't judge a right lookin' at the wrong  
 
Can't judge the one lookin' at the other   
                                  Bb7 
Can't judge a book lookin' at the cover 
     Eb                     Bb 
Baby can't you see how you misjudged me 
       F                        Eb  
I may look like a farmer, baby, but I'm a lover  
Bb  
Can't tell a book lookin' at the cover 
Bb 
Now, you can't judge the sugar lookin' in the cane   
 
You can't tell a woman lookin' at her man   
 
Can't judge a mother lookin' at the sister  
                                 Bb7 
Can't tell a book lookin' at the cover 
     Eb                     Bb 
Baby can't you see how you misjudged me 
       F                            Eb  
I may look like a farmer, baby, but I'm a lover  
Bb  
Can't tell a book lookin' at the cover
