Take Time To Know Her Lyrics - The Ultimate Performance: When A Man Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge

I found a woman 

I felt a true in love 

She was every thing 

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, wanna 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 thing 

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 every thing's 

Gonna turn out all right 

And then I came home 

A little early one night 

Photos 

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 

It's not an overnight thing 

Take time to know her 

Please, don't rush into this thing" 

Take time to know her 

It's not an overnight thing 

Take time
