You Beat Me To The Punch

 Mary Wells

 

 That day, I first saw you passing by

 I wanted, to ask your name but I...was much too shy

 But I was looking at you so hard

 That 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

 Yes you did.

 

 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

 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

 Yes you did.

 

 Since I loved 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

 Yes I will

 I'll beat you to the punch

 This time.
