You Beat Me To The Punch Edwin Starr

[Verse 1]
That day, I first saw you, woah oh, passing by
You know I wanted, ha, to know your name but I was much too shy
Now I was looking at you so hard (So hard)
Until you must have had a hunch (You must have had a hunch)
Because you came up to me and you asked me my name

[Chorus 1]
You beat me to the punch, oh baby (You beat me to the punch)
You beat me to the-

[Verse 2]
Now, 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, girl (You must have had a hunch)
Because you came up to me and you asked me to be yours

[Chorus 1]
You beat me to the punch, oh baby (You beat me to the punch)
You beat me to the punch, now, yeah yeah (You beat me to the punch)

[Bridge]
Oh, 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
Oh, but I found out beyond a doubt one day, girl, you were a playgirl
That would run around and leave, leave me blue (Leave me blue)
Oh baby (Leave me blue)
But I've got news for you (Leave me blue)
