Take Time To Know Her Lyrics - David Allan Coe

I found a woman 

I felt a true love 

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 

Took her home to mama 

Mama, wanna 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 thing 

Take time to know her 

Please don't go rushin to do your thing 

But I didn't listen to my mama 

I went straight to the church 

I just couldn't wait for that 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 he called me to his side 

Take time to know her 

Not an overnight fling 

Take time to know her 

Don't go rushin to do your thing 

But it looks like every thing's gonna turn out all right 

But then I came home from work 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 

She said, take time to know her 

Not an overnight fling 

Take time to know her 

Don't go rushin to do your thing 

She said, take time to know her 

Not an overnight fling 

Take time to know her 

Don't go rushin to do your thing 

Take time to know her
