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
