Take Time to Know Her

I found a woman I felt a true 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 Took her home to mama Mama, wanna see my future bride Well she looked at us both 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 go rushin to do your thing But I didn't listen to my mama I went straight to the church I just couldn't wait for that 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 he called me to his side Take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing But it looks like every thing's gonna turn out all right But then I came home from work a little early one night And there she was kissin on another man Now I know what mama meant when she took me by the hand She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing Take time to know her
