You Beat Me to the Punch – Mary Wells lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

That dayI first saw you passing byI wantedTo know your name, but I was much too shy
But I was looking at you so hardUntil you must’ve had a hunchSo you came up to me and asked me my name
You beat me to the punch that time (you beat me to the punch)You beat me to the punch, oh-oh-oh-oh (you beat me to the punch)You beat me to the punch (you beat me to the punch)
Oh-oh-oh, afterI hadn’t known you for it seems like a long, long timeI wantedWanted to ask you, would you please, please be mine
Whenever you came around, my heart would poundSo you must have had a hunchSo 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, oh-oh-oh-oh (you beat me to the punch)You beat me to the punch, yeah (you beat me to the punch)
Since I love you, I thought you would be trueAnd love me tenderSo I let my heart surrenderTo you, yes, I didBut I found out beyond a doubtOne day, boy, you were a playboyWho would go away and leave me blue
So I ain’t gonna wait around for you to put me downThis time I’m gonna play my hunchAnd walk away this very day
And beat you to the punch this time (I’ll beat you to the punch)I’ll beat you to the punch, yes, I will (I’ll beat you to the punch)Won’t let you, no, no (I’ll beat you to the punch)Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (I’ll beat you to the punch)Oh-oh-oh-oh
