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

Can't tell a book lookin' at the cover

Baby can't you see how you misjudged me 
      F                         Eb  
I may look like a farmer, baby, but I'm a lover

Now, you can't tell the fish lookin' in the pond 
 
You can't judge a right lookin' at the wrong
