You Beat Me To The Punch Lyrics - The One Who Really Loves You - Mary Wells

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, ohh ohh 

You beat me to the punch 

After I hadn't known you for it 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 

You beat me to the punch, yeah 

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 

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 

And beat you to the punch this time 

I'll beat you to the punch, yes, I will 

And let you know, know, how it feels
