Charity Brown You Beat Me To The Punch
That day, I first saw you
Whoa-oh, passin' by
I wanted to know your name but I,
I was much too shy
But I was lookin' 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
You beat me to the punch
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
You beat me to the punch
Oh, oh, oh
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
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
You beat me to the punch, yeah
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'd go away and leave me blue
So I ain't gonna wait around
For you to put me down
Ah, this time I'm gonna play my hunch
And walk away this very day
And beat you to the punch
This time
I'll beat you to the punch
Yes I will
Let me know just how it feels
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I'll beat you to the punch...
