Take Time to Know Her

I found a woman I felt that true in love She was everything I'd ever been dreaming of But 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, wanna see my future bride Well, she looked at us both And then she called me to her side She 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 I didn't listen to mama I went straight to the church I just couldn't wait To have a little girl of mine When I got off 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 fling Take time to know her Please, don't rush into this thing" But it looked like every thing's Gonna turn out all right And then I came home A little early one night And there she was Kissing on another man Now, I know what mama meant When she took me by the hand And 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" "Take time to know her It's not an overnight thing Take time to know her Please, don't rush into this thing" "Take time to know her It's not an overnight thing"
