[Verse 1] |
|
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 |
|
[Chorus 1] |
|
You beat me to the punch that time |
|
You beat me to the punch |
|
You beat me to the punch |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
After I had 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 |
|
[Chorus 1] |
|
You beat me to the punch that time |
|
You beat me to the punch |
|
You beat me to the punch |
|
[Bridge] |
|
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 |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
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 |
|
[Chorus 2] |
|
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 |
