You can judge a book by it's cover almost always You can judge a book by it's cover almost always I still remember the day that we met Just holding hands on the library steps You quoted Keats and I very near wept Now my savings all got spent Then my birthday came and went And the rent is in arrears 'Cause you spent it all on booze But I love you, yes I do, almost always Went back to yours and you paid my train fare
You even offered to give me your spare First edition of 'Hanover Square' Oh, if only I could see What the future held for me Every night with Sky TV Every pub in West 14 With the jukebox playing Queen You can judge a book by the cover almost always You can judge a love by the lover almost always You can judge a book by the cover almost always You can judge a book
