Take Time To Know Her

Take time to know her

Take time to know her



I found a woman, one I knew I truly love

She was everything, I'd ever been dreaming of

And she was bad, I didn't know it

Her pretty smile never did show it

All I knew is what I could see

And I knew I wanted her for me



I took her home to mama

Mama wanted to see my future bride

She looked at us both

Then she called me to her side



She said, "Take time to know her

It's not an overnight thing

Take time to know her

Son don't rush into this thing"



But I didn't listen to my mama

I went straight down to the church

I just couldn't wait to have that little girl of mine

I couldn't even wait till I got home from work

The preacher was there, so was my future bride

He looked at us both and then he called me to his side



He said, "Son take time to know her

It's not an overnight thing

Take time to know her

Please don't rush into this thing"



But it looked like every thing

It looked like everything was gonna be all right

Then I came home from work a little early one night

When I walked in the house, I saw her there

She was kissin' on another man and I knew right then

I knew right then what my mama meant

When she took me by the hand



She said, "Son take time to know her

Boy it's not an overnight thing

Take time to know her

There's no reason for you to rush into this thing"



Take time to know her

It's not, love is not an easy thing

Take time to know her

Boy please don't rush into this thing

Take time to know her
