"Don't Judge A Book By The Cover" Lyrics

When I told you, I didn't need you
That's when, I needed you the most
But you weren't there
So I'll just cry myself to sleep
Just shaking and in pain, cause I'm so weak
And I tried to tell you,
But you didn't listen

So now with tears in my eyes, as I lay here in bed
Now I know, that the book is different than the cover I read

Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might go under
You don't know what you're getting into, oh-oh-oh
Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might discover
That everything is different than you expected
So listen to what your heart says

The inside was different than the outsides truth,
It keeps changing, so what's the excuse
It should stay the same
Depressed and broken, everything's gray
Speechless without anything to say
How could you do this to me

And now with tears in my eyes, as I lay here in bed
Now I know, that the book is different than the cover I read

Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might go under
You don't know what you're getting into, oh-oh-oh
Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might discover
That everything is different than you expected
So listen to what your heart says

Yeah, dig a little deeper, see what message they convey
Yeah, find yourself a keeper, before you let them take you away
Yeah there's so many different covers, so many books upon the shelf
But the only thing that matters, is the story that it tells baby

Now I wipe the tears from eyes, and find someone new instead
There's no point in looking back on a cover I once read, baby

Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might go under
You don't know what you're getting into, oh-oh-oh
Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might discover
That everything is different than you expected
So listen to what your heart says
