Book & a Cover Lyrics & Tabs by Suzanne Vega
Book & a Cover
guitar chords lyrics
What's that they told you
About a book & a cover?
Don't judge so quickly,
Is it too much too remember?
'cause pictures lie,
You know.
I'll show
It's so.
Just give it one thought.
What's that they taught you?
To revere a kind of beauty?
To paint on that pretty veneer
And try to hide whatever's dirty?
Well, faces lie.
You'll see
And try to hide whatever's dirty?
Well, faces lie.
You'll see
No sympathy.
Just give it one thought.
Come here and I will whisper true
About the things I know of you,
And you will recognize them,
Always...
As near to you as breath and bone,
So dear to me, and yours alone,
And I will love you for them,
Always...
What's that they tell you
About a book & a cover?
Don't judge so quickly.
They'll tell you one thing and then another.
But see what lies
Within,
Under the skin.
Just give it one thought.
