David Allan Coe - Take Time To Know Her lyrics

Take time to know her Take time to know her I found a woman, one I knew I truly love She was everything, I'd ever been dreaming of And 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 She looked at us both Then she called me to her side She said, "Take time to know her It's not an overnight thing Take time to know her Son don't rush into this thing" But I didn't listen to my mama I went straight down to the church I just couldn't wait to have that little girl of mine I couldn't even wait till I got home 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 thing Take time to know her Please don't rush into this thing" But it looked like every thing It looked like everything was gonna be all right Then I came home from work a little early one night When I walked in the house, I saw her there She was kissin' on another man and I knew right then I knew right then what my mama meant When she took me by the hand She said, "Son take time to know her Boy it's not an overnight thing Take time to know her There's no reason for you to rush into this thing" Take time to know her It's not, love is not an easy thing Take time to know her Boy please don't rush into this thing Take time to know her
