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.
