Take Time To Know Her

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
