I Smiled Yesterday

You Beat Me To The Punch - Mary Wells

That day

I first saw you whoa whoa

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 came up to me

And asked me my name

You beat me to the punch

That time

You beat me to the punch

You beat me to the punch

Whoa after I hadn't known you

For it seemed 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

You beat me to the punch yeah

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

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

This time I'll beat you to the punch

Yes I will and let you know know

How it feels
