Mary Wells - You Beat Me to the Punch
That day, I first saw you 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.
After I had known you for it 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
So you came up to me and asked me to be yours.
You beat me to the punch that time
You beat me to the punch
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 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
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...

모 타운 레코드사의 실질적인 간판 스타 였죠.1964년 회사를 떠날때까지
그녀의 인기는 회사의 운영을 좌지우지 할 정도 였으니 모 타운 회사로서는
엄청난 손실이었죠.스모키 로빈슨의 곡을 받아 취입했던 그녀는 이후에도
협업을 계속하다가 1992년 타계합니다.
