YOU BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH (William "Smokey" Robinson & Ronald White) (Artist:
Mary Wells)

That day I first saw you, who oh, 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 walked up to me and asked me my name.
You beat me to the punch.
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.) Oh oh oh.
You beat me to the punch. (You beat me to the punch.) Yeah.
Oh whoa, 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.
But as you came around, my little heart would pound,
So you must have had a hunch.
So you came up to me and asked be to be yours.
You beat me to the punch.
You beat me to the punch. (You beat me to the punch.)
Once again.
You beat me to the punch. (You beat me to the punch.)
You beat me to the punch. (You beat me to the punch.)
Since I love you, I thought you would be true,
And love me tender, so I made my heart surrender to you,
Yes, to you.
But I found out beyond a doubt one day, boy,
You were a playboy, who would go away and leave me,
Loo, so I ain't gonna wait around for you to put me down.
This time I'm gonna play my hunch, I'm walkin' away this very day
And beat you to the punch. (And beat you to the punch) this time.
I'll beat you to the punch. (I'll beat you to the punch).
Let you know, I'll let you know, know.
