[D]
I [A] found a woman [G] I [D] felt I truly loved
She [A] was everything [G]
I'd [D] ever been dreaming of
But she was [A] there when I didn't [G] know her
Her pretty [D] smile never did show
All [A] I knew was what I [G] could see
And [D] I knew I wanted her [Bm] for me
Took her [G] home to mama
[Bm] Mama wanna see [G] my future [Bm] bride
Oh she looked [G] at us both
[A] And as she saw me to her side
She said, [D] son, kick [A] back a little [G] bit
Love it [D] over like that
Kick
[A] back a little [G] bit
Please [D] don't rush into this baby
But I didn't [A] listen to my mama
[G] I went straight [D] to bed at church
I just [A] couldn't wait to have a little [G] girl of mine
When [D] I got home from work
My pretty was [A] there with my [G] future bride
He looked at [D] us both and he called me to his side
He said, son, [A] take time to know [G] her
Smile it [D] over like that
[A] Take time to know
[G] her
Please don't [D] rush into this baby
But it looked like [A] everything was gonna turn out [G] alright
Then I came [D] home a little early one night
And there she [A] was kissing on [G] another man
Now I [D] know what mama meant when she took me by the hand
And she said, son, take [A] time to know [G] her
Smile it [D] over like that
Take
[A] time to know
[G] her
Please don't [D] rush into this baby
You better take [A] time to know [G] her
Smile it [D] over like that
Take
[A] time to know [G] her
Please [D] don't rush into this baby
Take
[A] time to know [G] her
[D]
