Suzanne Vega - Book a Cover текст песни

Music & lyrics by suzanne vega

Whats that they told you

About a book & a cover?

Dont judge so quickly,

Is it too much too remember?

cause pictures lie,

You know.

Ill show

Its so.

Just give it one thought.

Whats that they taught you?

To revere a kind of beauty?

To paint on that pretty veneer

And try to hide whatevers dirty?

Well, faces lie.

Youll 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...

Whats that they tell you

About a book & a cover?

Dont judge so quickly.

Theyll tell you one thing and then another.

But see what lies

Within,

Under the skin.

Just give it one thought.
