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

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, 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

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

And let you know, know, how it feels
