It's not the way you walk
It's not the way you talk
It's not the clothes you wear
It's not the style of your hair
You got to understand
That every natural man
Likes to dress to impress
and look like all the rest
Can't judge a book by the way it looks
Man, you got to realize
They're just
(Chorus)
Looking on the outside
When God looks on your heart
Looking on the outside
and that's the dangerous part
It ain't what you say
It's what you do
Bible say's it's true
And I believe it's true
You got to understand
You're in sinking sand
If you're just looking the part
But holding out with your heart
You can't judge a book by the way it looks
Man, you got to realize
you're just
(Chorus)
You can't stay on that narrow road
If you're wearing crooked shoes
every time you judge a man
It comes right back on you
