Soul Twist

That day, I first saw you, oh, oh, passing by

I wanted to know your name but I was much too shy

But I was looking at you (Looking) so hard

Until you must have had a hunch (You must have had a hunch)

So you came up to me and asked me my name

You beat me to the punch (You beat me to the punch), that time

You beat me to the punch, oh-oh-oh-oh (You beat me to the punch)

You beat me to the punch (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 (You came), my heart would pound

So you must have had a hunch (You must have had a hunch)

So you came up to me and asked me to be yours

You beat me to the punch (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)

You beat me to the punch, yeah (You beat me to the punch)

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 (Gonna wait) for you to put me down

This time I'm gonna play my hunch (I'm gonna play my hunch)

And walk away this very day

And beat you to the punch (And beat you to the punch) this time

I'll beat you to the punch (I'll beat you to the punch), yes, I will

Let you know, know, how it feels (I'll beat you to the punch)

Oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (I'll beat you to the punch)

Oh oh oh oh
