You Beat Me to the Punch

That day, I first saw you passing by

I wanted to know your name but I was much too shy

But I was looking at you so hard

Until you must have had a hunch

So you came up to me and asked me my name

You beat me to the punch that time

You beat me to the punch

You beat me to the punch

After I hadn't known you for it seems like a long, long time

I wanted, wanted to ask you, would you please, please be mine

Whenever you came around, my heart would pound

So you must have had a hunch

So you came up to me and asked me to be yours

You beat me to the punch one more time

You beat me to the punch

You beat me to the punch, yeah

Since I love you, I thought you would be true

And love me tender

So I let my heart surrender

To you, yes, I did

But I found out beyond a doubt one day, boy, you were a playboy

Who would go away and leave me blue

So I ain't gonna wait around for you to put me down

This time I'm gonna play my hunch

And walk away this very day

And beat you to the punch this time

And beat you to the punch this time

I'll beat you to the punch, yes, I will

And let you know, know, how it feels
