D                                 Bm
That day, I first saw you (whoa, whoa) passing by..
  D                              Bm               A
I wanted, to know your name, but I...was much too shy.
          D
But I was looking at you so hard,
         Bm
that you must have had a hunch.
        G
So, you came up to me and asked me my name.

CHORUS:
G                  D           Bm
You beat me to the punch..that time..
                   D                  Bm
You beat me to the punch..oh, oh, oh, oh.
                   D         Bm
You beat me to the pun.un.un.unch..
           
Whoa, whoa, whoa...

D                                                         Bm
After..I had known you, for what seems like a long, long, time.
  D                                   Bm                 A
I wanted, wanted to ask you would you please, please, be mine.
         D
Whenever you came around, my heart would pound,
        Bm
so, you must have had a hunch.
        G
So, you came up to me and asked me to be yours.

CHORUS:
G                  D               Bm
You beat me to the punch..one more time..
                   D                  Bm
You beat me to the punch..oh, oh, oh, oh.
                   D         Bm
You beat me to the pun.un.un.unch..
           
Yeahhh...

G                    A                             D  
Since I loved you, I thought you would be true and love 
    Bm
me, tender.
      D               Bm         D          Bm
So, I let my heart surrender..to you, yes I did.
    G              A                 D
But I found out, beyond a doubt..one day, boy,
           Bm                 G                     A
you were a playboy..who would go away and leave me, blue.

A     D
So, I ain't gonna wait, around for you to put me down.
     Bm                                G
This time I'm gonna play my hunch..and walk away this very day.
G                   D           Bm
And beat you to the punch, this time.
                     D             Bm
I'll beat you to the punch, yes, I will.
