Mary Wells - You Beat Me To The Punch Lyrics
That day, I first saw you, whoa whoa, passing by
I wanted to know your name but I was just 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 oh, oh, oh, oh
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 oh, oh, oh, 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
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 and let you know how it feels, oh, oh, oh

Brings back memories of the family cookouts with all the kids running around and the tíos and tías just chillin making some discada and throwing back a few cold ones 😔 now no one even speaks to each other during the holidays
Wow. You got to meet her what an honor. That is good music. For ever. I meet brenda lee in 1966.up in san francisco. I was happy to see her in person.
This was my wife and I favorite female artist back in 1962 and forever JAH bless

The Temptations are singing in the background
Motown Queen of soul, Mary Wells
Bringing back childhood memories of my Mom playing this in the car on her 8 track in the 70's. Still very fond of this song. I love her voice.
And beat you to the punch....!!!
All i wish is that i could embrace Mary Well , thank her for her beautiful music, and give her a kiss but then again i probably would never let her go :-( She was magnificent !
Love these.
Best Cha Cha record ever
Love to play my bangos to this song
LorrettaGomez
same here! I was about 10 years old and remember this playing from a jukebox at the beach restaurant and at sunset the young ladies and gents would be dancing to this song (today I recall the cha-cha-cha)
all of this was happening in my home town Laval-West Qc. Canada.
Yup, here in Canada we listen and dance to the same songs and music
just like in the USA. and we love Motown generation. cheer's

Googling info about this person I got side tracked and found instead a stranger called Mary Margaret Wells and her young passing. Men would had fought hard to have someone like her. Very beautiful.
I miss the good old days.
Th is is the first songtress of Motown i song her song this one especially at 6 yrs. Old my oldest. Sister took me to sing it before. A birthday party crowd and i killed it!
She's like no other
Mary Wells , one of my favorite ladies. So smooth and effortless and sweet Its called talent !!! Such a lovely lady , where have they gone????
Motown put out the best music!
mary wells was fucking beautiful OMG.. wow.. \
Now what a refreshing change of music. At a time we didn’t have to watch a video a radio ,,transistor. So we are the generation who can tell the difference between what is Music and what is Noise...everything’s been done ...all the best tracks have been laid out.
Love the atmosphere of this sound
Legend.
I used to work at Big Al's and everyday it closing time I had to clean up the dinning area and they had this junt box so I would play this song among others and be dancing and singing in the mop like it was a microphone i don't care about any thumbs down if you're feeling me pick like and today I still listen to it
She is a one of the greatest and alway will be....
I dont see why people dislike this song

Amazing song! Beyonce I hope you are listening and taking notes. This song and Betty Swann's "Make me yours" re-record and release. top ten easily. Our young people need to hear this and other songs.
I love the early 60's, Mary Wells was such a sound on AM radio. Such talent. Never met anyone that every heard Mary that did not love to hear her.
I Was Watching You Too Girl.
Great Song.
