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've 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 (you beat me to the punch)

Oh-oh-oh, 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, 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
This time I'm gonna play my hunch
And walk away this very day

And beat you to the punch this time (I'll beat you to the punch)
I'll beat you to the punch, yes, I will (I'll beat you to the punch)
Won't let you, no, no (I'll beat you to the punch)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (I'll beat you to the punch)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
