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'
What the future held for me 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
