Lyrics:

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

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

This time

I'll beat you to the punch

This time
