That day, I first saw you, oh-oh, passing by
I wanted to know your name but I was much too shy
Oh, I was looking at you so hard (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
Oh, that time, you beat me to the punch
That time, you beat me to the punch, yeah
After I had known you for it seems like a long, long time
I wanted to ask you, would you please be mine
Oh, whenever you came around, my hеart would pound
And so you must have had a hunch
And so you came up to mе and asked me to be yours
You beat me to the punch
Oh, that time, you beat me to the punch
That time, 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
Oh, but I found out beyond a doubt
One day, boy, you were a playboy
Oh, who would go away and leave me blue
Yeah, so I ain’t gonna wait around
Oh, for you to put me down
This time I’m gonna play my hunch
And I’m just gonna walk away this very day
And beat you to the punch
Oh, this time, I’ll beat you to the punch this time
Yes, this time, I’ll beat you to the punch
Beat you to the punch
