Don't judge a girl
Cryin' in a bathroom stall
I bet there's a boy to blame
And it ain't just the alcohol
Don't judge a lady
For that too-tight, low-cut dress
She came here for a reason
Even if her judgement ain't the best

You don't know where she's been
So if you see her with him

Maybe he's a phase, maybe he's a rebound
Mighta been the one or a one-night stand
Maybe he's a nice guy, but only on the inside
And she's tried to leave him, but maybe she can't
You ain't in the heels she's walkin' in
So don't judge a book by its cover
Or a woman by her man

Don't judge a wife
Who just smiles and says it's fine
When the whole town knows he's runnin' 'round
It's easier to lie
And don't judge a mother
Who stays in it for the kids
She's just tryin' to do better
Than her parents ever did

You don't know where she's been
So if you see her with him

Maybe he's a phase, maybe he's a rebound
Mighta been the one or a one-night stand
Maybe he's a nice guy, but only on the inside
And she's tried to leave him, but maybe she can't
You ain't in the heels she's walkin' in
So don't judge a book by its cover
Or a woman by her man

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Maybe he's a phase, maybe he's a rebound
Mighta been the one or a one-night stand
Maybe he's a nice guy, but only on the inside
And she's tried to leave him, but maybe she can't
You ain't in the heels she's walkin' in
So don't judge a book by its cover
Or a woman by her man

Don't judge a woman
Who takes back her maiden name
She's just tryin' to move on
And we could all use a little grace
