You Beat Me to the Punch

Lyrics

[Verse 1] That day, I first saw you, oh-oh, passing by I wanted to know your name but I was much too shy Oh, I was looking at you so hard (So hard) Until you must have had a hunch (You must have had a hunch) So you came up to me and asked me my name [Chorus] You beat me to the punch (You beat me to the punch) Oh, that time, you beat me to the punch (You beat me to the punch) That time, you beat me to the punch, yeah (You beat me to the punch) [Verse 2] After I had known you for it seems like a long, long time I wanted to ask you, would you please be mine Oh, whenever you came around, my hеart would pound And so you must have had a hunch (You must have had a hunch) And so you came up to mе and asked me to be yours [Chorus] You beat me to the punch (You beat me to the punch) Oh, that time, you beat me to the punch (You beat me to the punch) That time, you beat me to the punch, yeah (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 Oh, but I found out beyond a doubt One day, boy, you were a playboy Oh, who would go away and leave me blue [Verse 3] Yeah, so I ain't gonna wait around Oh, for you to put me down This time I'm gonna play my hunch (This time I'll play my hunch) And I'm just gonna walk away this very day [Outro] And beat you to the punch (I'll beat you to the punch) Oh, this time, I'll beat you to the punch this time (I'll beat you to the punch) Yes, this time, I'll beat you to the punch (I'll beat you to the punch) Beat you to the punch (I'll beat you to the punch)
