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...
