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.
