Take Time To Know Her (Rerecorded)

Take Time to Know Her (Rerecorded) - Percy Sledge

Written by：Steve Davis

I found a woman

I felt I truely 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

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

Take time to know her

Its not an overnight fling

Take time to know her

Please don't rush into this thing

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

And then 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 said son take time to know her

Its not an overnight fling

Take time to know her

Please don't rush into this thing

You better take time to know her

Its not an overnight fling

Take time to know her

Please don't rush into this thing

You better take time to know her

Its not an overnight fling
