Take Time To Know Him Lyrics - Jody Miller

I found somebody I thought I truly loved he was everything I'd ever been dreaming of 

But he was bad I didn't know it he had a smile but never did show it 

All I knew is what I could see and I knew I wanted him for me 

I took him on to mama I wanted to be his bride 

Mama looked at us both and then she called me to her side 

Said take time to know him it's not an overnight thing 

You better take time to know him please don't rush into this thing 

I didn't listen to mama I went straight to the church 

I just couldn't wait to be at home when my man got up work 

The preacher was there I was gonna be a bride 

He looked at us both and then he called me to his side 

Said take time to know him... 

Well it looked like everything was gonna turn out all right 

And then I caught him out one night 

There was another woman kissin' on my man 

Now I know what mama meant when she's took me by the hand 

She said take time to know him... 

Take time to know him...
