Percy Sledge - Take Time To Know Her lyrics

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 is what I could see

And I knew I wanted her for me



I took her home to Mama

Mama wanted to 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 fling

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 everything was gonna turn out all right

And then I came home, 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



And said, “Son, take time to know her”

(Take time, please, to get to know son)

“It’s not an overnight fling”

(Take time, please, to get to know son)

“Take time to know her”

(Take time, please, to get to know son)

“Please don't rush into this thing”



“Take time to know her”

(Take time, please, to get to know son)

“It’s not an overnight fling”
