I found a woman I felt I truly loved 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 was what I could see And I knew I wanted her for me single notes I took her home to Mama Mama wanted to see my future bride Oh 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 home from work The preacher was there So was my future bride He looked at us both and the he called me to his side, he 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." (spoken): Well it looked like everything was gonna turn out alright And then I came home a little early one night (sung): 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, take a little time son ooohhh) Take time to know her Please don't rush into this thing." (take time, take a little time son ooohhh) (repeat & fade)
