  • can you ever know

  • Yes it was great in the beginning right? and sad towards the end, but that's life. And if you think about it, it was just a training ground for who you have now. You could not be the person you are now, without going through what you went through. Think of the good times and chuck the rest. peace

  • Percy brings back some good memories to this old grandmother; Ft. Whiting Armory, live concert in Mobile, AL. 1968/69 ish. Concert put on by USA fraternity; raided for underage drinkers! Yes, even grandmothers had some fun!!!Seeing Percy tonight at Hard Rock Casino, Biloxi, MS

  • what the fuck is with the intro

  • @kaloncar. Premarital sex is wrong. Dude, get a life.

  • Your right dude. Forget her.... Stick it to that bitch

  • Love the way Percy sings, "her purty smile." He's so woeful!

  • :::::: ) smdh

  • Hey HowieBecky, what did she do to you?

  • This is a re-record, but nice talking intro!

  • YEAH THATS PRETTY COLD TO [POST A PICTURE

  • Sorry for your pain but some experiences are universal. People disappoint especially people that we love. Know this experience has happened to both men and women. People cheat not because the other person didn't measure up but because of their own insecurities. There will be another down the road who will treasure you, be your best friend and lover.Good luck and thanks for uploading the great Percy Sledge's Take Time To Know Her.

  • THIS IS PERFECT BROTHER!!!EXPLOIT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!THIS SONG IS ONE OF THE BEST EVER!!I'M ALSO BEING TORTURED,BUT NOW I AM SITTING IN MY FLAT DIVORCED FINALY.THE THING OF WOMAN GETTING PREFERENCE AT THE COURTS Etc. IS SHIT!!!THEY GIVE YOU HELL.I;ve pleased her in all the ways cooking,taking care of the children while she was sitting on her ass,but that was not good enough.I guess , that you can't please a woman.

  • @DALEHARMSE hope you find love again.you willl find a woman that appreciates you just don't get bitter and take your time to know the next one before you take that "leap of faith again"

  • percy kinda sounded a little like mike tyson LOL

  • This song is an excellent song and speaks to the depths of what a failed love can do to people, it's not at all about exposing someone, we must all chance to be sensitive to other people's circumstances in and from life! Peace and prayers always. me.

  • i know what you mean that go woman that have new boy take time to know them i did not take time to know the man i marry and man i was so happy get out of that marry

  • Percy has been in my heart for many years

    ppl get left its apart of life

    but there is no need 2 but her pic on youtube n all that drama

    plus we dont no wat u did 2 make her leave so............................­....???

  • As a man who's ex-wife had an affair I feel your pain. Contrary to popular opinion, men feel too. In my case she hadn't emotionally closed the book on her first boyfriend (who took her virginity while young and careless with sex). Time heals and other relationships come along, but it's a lesson for both sexes not to play with other's hearts. It's now, through personal experience, that I know premarital sex is hurtful and wrong. I'm not innocent either, but oh to have a do over.

  • My Daddy turned me on too this song, I was 15. My momma walked out on him.. And he taught me the lesson... But i DIDN'T listen either. I luv you daddy RIP

  • @marietomlin

    my daddy told me the same thing i am a female about my ex-husnand jurard....

  • my mother tryed to tell me but i didnt listen now when i hear this song i understand so to you all out there take time to know him or her sonji augusta ga age 39

  • Warte heute vergeblich das wieder mal einer so ein Lied  textet und singt. Sind die guten Liederschreiber und Sänger ausgestorben heute nur noch Müll.

    Singen Wegschmeißen und Vergessen.

  • Nigga what ?

  • OMG !! That is just Hilarious !! .. You Ruined a perfectly good song Dude !

  • in Nashville in the early 90's sitting at the counter at a Waffle House on Elm Hill Pike turns out the man next to me ordering two steaks was Percy Sledge, we talked a bit, he was a very kind man and he gave me his autograph, there is my brush with greatness...

  • There's a song by R. Kelly out right now called, "When A Women Loves" that is truly reminiscent of a Percy Sledge song. I just watched the video on VeVo and it's amazing.

  • this is the funniest thing I ever seen in my life poor lady...

  • LMBO this is too funny. I was trying to listen to a great song and got to laugh at the same time. I am going to look at the other videos and see if I can laugh some more. Your Canadian Mother should have told you everything is not for everyone to know.

  • I dedicate this to Mercutio cos one day you'll know what you did !

  • i married a whore should have listened to my momma too... bitches are trifflin!!!!

  • i agree especially when they betray you

  • Perfect song.

  • Tommy this is for you&me...

  • hurts- reminds me of my dad, always played this, especially when he was drunk (guess he missed my mom), typical jamaican dad of that era and i miss you soooo much

  • where is the good old music ? it touched the deep parts of my heart.

  • I know what you are still hurting. I can tell you still love her too, by posting those lovely pictures. Some people are impossible to live with. The spell you were under was Love. Love hurts when things go bad.

  • I have always loved Percy Sledge. Outta Left Field was my fav. but haven't heard it is years. The man could sing.

  • i guess voodo still works

  • Comment removed

  • I had a similar situation, my mom was so dsappointed in me, she is gone now and i wish i could have explained to her

  • Comment removed

  • Lesson - listen to yo mama. Been there there, done there! Works for male and female. My dad called him Jodi....

  • percy sledge i love you and the song take time to know her it brigth up my life i man the rigth man off your song

  • I know she did you wrong, but did you have to exploit her picture like that, out of vengance? Not very good on your behalf. I mean, how would you feel if she did that to you?

    Man, that's cold.

  • @slowenergy tru tru...

  • @slowenergy  He wants HER to know how much she hurt him. I know how he feels.

  • @merikwolf but does she ever know im just sayin

  • @slowenergy

    your energy is definately slow. Who are you to judge what he feels like singing? You are wicked to have such an opinion. Can you write any music? I dont think so/

  • @slowenergy your crazy i think its hilarious! Thats what she gets

  • @slowenergy shut up 

  • @slowenergy

    A man loves hard and hates hard when he's young. till they take this video down he's actually her immortalized her (whom better than to Percy?). He like the rest of us has to learn and we all will continue to make mistakes and learn too.

  • why diina ya listen to mama, crazy fool

  • ma chanson préférée de Percy Sledge avec "when a man loves a woman" :D

  • dont be such a punk get ova it

  • Heart Break Comes to us all from time to time and a mother will always pick up the peices

  • lol i didnt write this coment btw my friend got on my acount lmao

  • get over it

  • hey aswipes life is a bitch laern to live with it,

    but stil this song wil always be in our hearts.

  • why didn't I listen to moma.

  • she could had been true and after awhile she had a change of heart. Why can't two people dating not feel the same love. after awhile of dating. Give her a break. She changed her mind while dating..who did not and does not do that? You folks are not prepairing this poor dumb weak bastard for life. He mentions women in his life but no males. You were dating she had a change of heart. She is still a good person just as you are. Move on....thank her for a great experiance and wish each other well.

  • lovely vibes and words, guys listen and understand, gals understand and listen

  • U bitches may have not like my delivery to this poor sucker/chump but the truth is the truth. You should never be exclusive if you are a guy...thats a fact! u r setting urself up 2 b burned and burned bad as this dumb bastard found out. Ask him not me...what is his new attitude towards dating/women. Yeah take time 2 no her but keep getting/testing new and different coochie while u r taking ur time. U still need sex..what r u going 2 do? put ur dick on hold...of course not...u gottta keep bangin.

  • dude, sounds like you are a little afraid of getting hurt. It's no big deal, like you say, if you're man enough to handle it. But then, what do i know ey? respect just doesn't mean much to some... wicked song.

  • you are a moron

  • Lovee this song..Take heed ALLL..:)

  • i am crying by this number and i like it!!!!!!

  • Howie dude I know how you feel I didn'ttake the time, she has cheated (that I can prove, just hearsay) but still I didn't take the time.

  • i agree 100% my friend

  • Dude she was way to much women for you...no big deal though...there are a ton of women out in the world even better. You have to get out and keep bangin till you get that right fit 'wink, wink if you know what i mean' You gotta know the rules...it could have easily been you kickin her to the curb..then what..she would have had a video.......that is why i always cheat in my relationships..you never know when someone is gonna change their mind and u would have missed out on a ton of couchie.

  • Wow, youngster when will you ever grow up??

  • elmosmidlap: you are such a wicked person. I wish if your woman could have identify you here. Just so see can see how deceiving you are!

    Men like you makes me sick! No wrongs don't make a right. It is better to walk away, and get someone within the right frame of mind. Do not go into another woman's panties with someone else in mind. SICK SICK SICK!

  • i dont think he is the deciever

    all girls cheat fact .

  • all grown men got their heart broken..its a growing phase..get over it..you can only know real love if you love god first

  • How true this is,,I also did not take time to know the person i thought I love..but what hurt did it cause!!!!

  • this song reminds me of someone that i loved her so much but i didnt take time know her true colors so it was nice to be with her but i didnt know what she can do

  • its ok to be ghetto cuz you have to be real with your self and its all about the respect you have for some one 4real

  • I am one of many who have been there, this song just makes me sad but I love it for some reason

  • Ein geils lied

  • i can remember the night i lost my love for ever..but you know what...and this will maby suprise you...i think she was playing this song, the night she broke up with me....cause i was the one that screwed around with a nother woman...

    i can understand this..and it makes me shiver thinking of what she must have been true after all the stupit things i did...

    ...im sorry my love...

  • Hallo,

    ein sehr schönes Lied vom Prcy Sledge.

    Aber es ist leider nicht die Originalfassung. Muss ich noch von LP rippen, dann stelle ich einige Original-Oldis vom Percy online.

    Wenn es so weit ist, melde ich mich noch einmal.

    Liebe Grüße

  • This is like Lucky Dube song "Its no easy" Its so hard when this thinks happen to us. I Remember The Day I Called Mama On The Telephone

    i Told Her Mama I'm Getting Married

    i Could Hear Her Voice On The Other Side Of The Telephone She Was Smiling

    and She Asked Me A Question That I Proudly Answered

    she Said Son Did You Take Time To Know Her

    i Said Mama She's The Best

    but Today It Hurts Me So

    to Go Back To Mama And Say Mama I

    'm Getting Divorced

    oh I'm Getting Divorced .

  • rest in peace lucky dube african reggae king

    Fav of mine as well... reminish of parents... my mom listened to his music alot... sad or not- she liked listening to it too... now- it helps me - thinkin of her...

  • oh boooo hooooo, this song makes me wanna kill baby frogs

  • not baby seals?

  • This is a great favorite of mine!

  • If this guy is from the Island(Jamaica or whatever)he is typical of many from there.They label Blacks that live in this country,Americans! They do not want to call themselves or say they are American ,Canadian or what! They are are no diffrent from Blacks when it comes to skin color!They just got dropped off in a different territory during the Slave days!They need to do their History!!

  • SUPER

  • i'll always be the same,we men don't think with our heads,we let something else do our thinkin....

  • life stories with good oldies songs...cool i should subscribe lol! nice..but do listen to mama!

  • take time to know eachother

  • Mostly MAMA is right ;-).

    Anyway: You are better of without this .....

    Greetings from Belgium.

    Ps: YOU ARE NOT ALONE :-(.

  • PURE SOUL

  • nicje greetingx from  netherlands

  • Wake up call to all momma's boys not all moms are right.

  • But this one was... hee, hee.

  • My Canadian mother? sounds so disgusting. If mom is so much a part of your life why didn't you listen.

  • I say take time to know him, he might be a serial husband or a fugitive with 52 passports and aliases, one for each US state. A lot of women don't listen to their mamas and run off with serial killers who put them under a spell. The faults aren't only with women, women sacrifice a hell of a lot for men and then what...?

  • calm down, its a song, i know men are jerks. i am one

  • Jerks...? Thats an understatement.

  • Women raise those "jerks" and women grow up and date them as well so don't even begin about women. Without women there would be no men.

  • Tubebunny7: This is from a woman - without men there would be no women, men carry both X and Y chromosomes (boys and girls), they are the determinants of the baby's gender. Are you suggesting that women are able to impregnate themselves? Anyway..., nothing sensible can ever come from feminists / women who get carried away by womanhood and in the end present women as angels when they are in fact / can be vile as men if not worse.

  • Interesting statement ... you act as though men never encounter a bad woman !! It works both ways !!

  • This woman is beautiful, I don't see GHETTO in her, she must've carried the albatross for you&got tired. She looked GHETTO.., &you look what? To me you look like a parasite! She might have been from the ghetto but she is sure a clever girl to leave you. Alicia Keys is from the GHETTO, so what...?, a lot of people from GHETTO are damn hard workers, its sad that people have to be labelled by where they come from. Your Canadian mother must find you a queen, hire loads of servants & foot the bill4u.

  • Hold up. It don't matter what the person looks like its whats on the inside that counts. Some women just dont understand just like some men. As far as I can tell Rori001, you probably are only attracted to good looking people who have a personality of crap. Don't judge a book by its cover. Hell, I mean i am a man and many women say I look good but one thing is for sure I treat a woman with respect and I show my girl that she can be a woman and never have to want for anything!

  • 'My Canadian mother' sounds awkward, is it important to call her that, why not My Mother?. You look much younger than this woman, I think you were on a mission of your own and she saw through you. I get very suspicious when I see older woman/younger man relationships because in most cases the 'man' wants to be mothered, not every woman is prepared to do that. There are three sides to every story; yours, hers and the truth, we've only heard yours. Go back to your age group& take responsibility.

  • keep the faith! it will come right with time.

  • i know by personal experiance that u have to take time to know someone before u rush into a relationship..I got pregnant and dident really know the man i was with but we are now married with 3 kids and we have alot of problems but the good lord is helping us throught them everyday

  • Great song, feel your pain, keep the faith alive...

  • God Bless a man I meet, I will know every thing about them...go thru the garbage, find phone bills, etc..LOL!! David Chambers in

    Deep Run, NC. ask'em....Kay Crews-Chambers...poor babe!

  • When You meet the right one YOU'LL KNOW IT. But what a fine song

  • I just saw your video, and I know your pain very, very well. Please pick up a copy of a book called "The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stout and read it. It will really open your eyes about the type of person who preys on others.
