Take Time to Know Her

Take Time to Know Her - Jimmy Riley

I found a woman

I felt i truely loved

She was everything

That i'd ever been dreaming of

She was bad i didn't know it

Her pretty smile never did show it

All i knew is what i could see

I knew i wanted her for me

Took her home to mama

Mama wanted to see my future bride

She looked at us both

And then 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 couldn't wait to get this girl of mine

When i got off from work

The preacher was there

So was my future bride

He looked at us both

And called me to his side

He said son

Take time to know her

Take time to know her

It's not an overnight fling

Take time to know her

Please don't rush into this thing

When it looks like every thing was gonna turn out all right

And i came home a little early one night

And there she was kissing on another man

Now i know what mama meant

When she took me by the hand

And she said she said

Take time to know her

It's not an overnight fling

Take time to know her

Please don't rush into this thing

Take time to know her

It's not an overnight fling

Take time to know her

Please don't rush into this thing

I found a woman

I felt i truely loved

She was everything

That i'd ever been dreaming of

I took her home to mama

Mama wanted to see my future bride

She looked at us both

And then she called me to her side

She kept saying

Take time to know her

It's not an overnight fling

Take time to know her

Please don't rush into this thing

Take time to know her

It's not an overnight fling

Take time to know her

Please don't rush into this thing

Better take your time

My mama said

Take your time my son
