That day I first saw you, oh, oh, passing by.
I wanted
to know your name, but I was much too shy.
Cause I've been looking at you so hard,
until you must have had a hunch.
So you came up to me, and you asked me my name.
You beat me to the punch,
You beat me to the punch, that time.
You beat me to the punch,
You beat me to the punch, that time.
You beat me to the punch,
You beat me to the punch.
Oh,
after I have known you for,
it seems,
such a long,
long time.
I wanted,
wanted to ask you, would you please,
please be mine.
So you came up to me,
and you asked me to be yours.
You beat me to the punch.
You beat me to the punch, that time.
You beat me to the punch,
You beat me to the punch,
that time.
Since
I love you,
I thought you would be true and lovely,
tender.
So I let my heart surrender to you.
Ooh, yes I did.
But I found out beyond the depth one day you're just a plaything.
And you'd go away and leave me blue.
Ain't gonna wait around for you to put me down.
This time I'm gonna play my part.
And walk away
this very next day.
And beat you to the punch.
I'll beat you to the punch.
This time I'll beat you to the punch.
I'll beat you to the punch.
