If they only knew
How I felt inside
Maybe they'd understand
If they only knew
What I could do
Maybe they'd understand

Just give me a chance
and I'll prove it to you
There's so much I can do
Don't judge this book by its cover
I just look different than you

We've all got our talents
We're not all the same
I wish they'd understand
If they'd look past this cover
the story begins
Maybe they'd understand

Just give me a chance
and I'll prove it to you
There's so much I can do
Don't judge this book by its cover
I just look different than you

It's not the clothes I wear
Or the color of my hair
I've got the will and I've got the heart
I just wish someone would care

Just give me a chance
and I'll prove it to you
There's so much I can do

Don't judge this book by its cover
I just look different than you (repeated)
