• Take Time To Know Her

I found a woman
I felt a true in love.
She was every thing
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.
You better take time to know her.
Please, 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."
