You Beat Me To The Punch Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Ronald White Performer(s): Mary Wells; and various other artists
That day, I first saw you passing by I wanted, to ask your name but I...was much too shy But I was looking at you so hard That 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 You beat me to the punch Yes you did
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 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 Yes you did
Since I loved 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. And beat you to the punch Yes I will I'll beat you to the punch This time
