take time to know her

(written by steve davis)

 

I found a woman one that felt like a true love
She was everything that I'd ever been dreaming of
But she was bad I didn't know when
You could see a pretty little smile that would show
W'all I knew is what I could see
I knew that I wanted her for me
I took her home to my way
Mama wanted to see my future bride
She looked at this pose
Then she took me to her side

She said son, take time to know her
Love's not an overnight thing
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing

But I didn't listen to my mama
I went straight down to the church
You see I just couldn't wait to have that little girl of mine
When I got home from work
The preacher was there
So was my future bride
He looked at this pose
Then he took me to his side

He said son, take time to know her
Love's not an overnight thing
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing

Well it seemed like everything was gonna turn out allright
Until I happened to come home just a little bit earlier from work
And there she was just kissin' another man
I know what mama meant when she tok me by the hand

He said son, take time to know her
Love's not an overnight thing
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing

Take time to know her
I said, take time to know her
