According to Nelson George’s 1986 book Where Did Our Love Go? The Rise and Fall of the Motown Sound, this was the song the Funk Brothers were recording when they learned of the passing of legendary Motown drummer Benny Benjamin. “Papa Zita”, renowned for his heavy and thunderous style on tracks such...
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 me, yeah
Yeah, 'cause you can't judge a book by its cover
My papa used to say, "Look child
Look beyond a tender smile
'Cause you can't judge a look by the lover"
Girl, I'm sweet on you though you can't see through
This unconcerned expression I've been wearing, yeah
Hey, I practice looking bored so you can feel ignored
But that don't mean that I'm not really caring, yeah
'Cause you can't judge a book by its cover
And you can't judge a look by its lover
Maybe my coldness is a mask, maybe your loving ways will last
But you can't judge a book by its cover, baby
Ah, hoo
Somewhere beyond the skin, somewhere deep within
Somewhere, somewhere
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, baby, we'll find something precious, yeah
'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, baby, ooh
And you can't judge a look by its lover
We'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 book
Oh, you can't judge a book by its cover
No, no, no, no
And you can't judge a look by its lover
