That day I first saw you

Whoa-whoa passing by

I wanted to know your name

But I-I was much too shy

But I was looking (lookin') at you so hard

Until you must have had a hunch

(You must have had a hunch)

So you came up to me

And 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)

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

You beat me to the punch

(You beat me to the punch)

Oh-oh-whoa after I hadn't 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

(You came) my heart would pound

So you must have had a hunch

(You must have had a hunch)

So you came up to me

You asked me to be yours

You beat me to the punch

(You beat me to the punch) one more time

You beat me to the punch

(You beat me to the punch)

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

You beat me to the punch yeah

(You beat me to the punch)

Since I love you

I thought you would be true

And love me tender

So I let my heart surrender to you-hoo

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-ooo

So I ain't gonna wait around (go around)

For you to put me down (what you oughta do)

This time I'm gonna play my hunch

(I'll be here you can blame my stunt)

Then walk away this very day

And beat you to the punch

(And beat you to the punch) this time (go!)

I'll beat you to the punch yes I will (go!)

(I'll beat you to the punch)

FADES-

Let you know now

(I'll beat you to the punch) how little it feels

(Why don't you)

Ho-ho-ho

(I'll beat you to the punch)

Ho-ho-ho.
