[Verse]
It wasn’t so long ago
In our once upon a time
That everything seemed perfect
I was yours and you were mine
[Verse]
But in the middle of our story
You went and changed the plot
It was no longer about love
And ended faster than I thought
[Verse]
You turned the page on us
And then you closed the book
Put it way up on the shelf
And didn’t give it a second look
[Chorus]
They say don’t judge the book
By looking at the cover
I really wish that I had
Then went and found another
I knew you were trouble
From the look that you gave me
But I was just so bewitched
And way too blind to see
I thought I’d found a friend
I thought I’d found a lover
I should’ve judged the book
By looking at the cover
[Verse]
The ending of our story
Had such a terrible twist
It was a real tear jerker
Made for the best seller list
[Verse]
The dust hadn’t yet settled
Before you’d found someone else
And started a new chapter
While I was here by myself
[Chorus]
They say don’t judge the book
By looking at the cover
I really wish that I had
Then went and found another
I knew you were trouble
From the look that you gave me
But I was just so bewitched
And way too blind to see
I thought I’d found a friend
I thought I’d found a lover
I should’ve judged the book
By looking at the cover
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
You skipped the middle pages
And went to the very end
Didn’t know I was a part
Of the worst story ever pinned
[Final Chorus]
They say don’t judge the book
By looking at the cover
I really wish that I had
Then went and found another
I knew you were trouble
From the look that you gave me
But I was just so bewitched
And way too blind to see
I thought I’d found a friend
I thought I’d found a lover
I should’ve judged the book
By looking at the cover
