Lyrics
This is my story
And every word of it is true
I found a woman
I thought I truly loved
She was everything
I'd ever been dreaming of
When she was bad
I didn't know it
And her pretty smile never did show it
All I knew was 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
And called me to her side
She said, "Son, take time to know her
It's not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing."
I didn't listen to mama
I went straight to the church
I just couldn't wait to have
That little girl of mine
When I got off from work
The preacher was there
And 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 fling
Please take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing."
Well, it looked like everything
Was gonna turn out alright
Then I came home a little early one night
There she was kissing on another man
Now I know what mama meant
When she took me by the hand
She said, "Son, take time to know her
It's not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing."
Take time to know her
It's not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing
