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.
