Percy Sledge - Take Time To Know Her Lyrics
I found a womanI felt a true loveShe was everythingI'd ever been dreaming ofBut she was bad, I didn't know itHer pretty smile never did show itAll I knew is what I could seeAnd I knew I wanted her for meTook her home to mamaMama, wanna see my future brideWell she looked at us bothThen she called me to her sideShe said, "son, take time to know herIt's not an overnight thingTake time to know herPlease don't go rushin to do your thingBut I didn't listen to my mamaI went straight to the churchI just couldn't wait for that little girl of mineWhen I got off from workThe preacher was thereSo was my future brideHe looked at us both and he called me to his sideTake time to know herNot an overnight flingTake time to know herDon't go rushin to do your thingBut it looks like every thing's gonna turn out all rightBut then I came home from work a little early one nightAnd there she was kissin on another manNow I know what mama meant when she took me by the handShe said, take time to know herNot an overnight flingTake time to know herDon't go rushin to do your thingShe said, take time to know herNot an overnight flingTake time to know herDon't go rushin to do your thingTake time to know her
