You Beat Me To The Punch

That day

I first saw you, whoa-oh, passing by

I wanted

To know your name, but I was much too shy

But I was looking at you so hard (Looking)

Until you must have had a hunch (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, oh-oh-oh-oh (You beat me to the punch)

You beat me to the punch

Oh-whoa, whoa, after

I had known you for what 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 (You came)

So you must have had a hunch (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, oh-oh-oh-oh (You beat me to the punch)

You beat me to the punch, yeah (You beat me to the punch)

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 (Gonna wait)

This time I'm gonna play my hunch (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)

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

Gon' let you know, know, how it feels (I'll beat you to the punch)
