Beat Goes On Lyrics in English PATY CANTU , Boy Blue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Beat Goes On by PATY CANTU from Spanish to English.
That day, I first saw you, oh, oh, passing by
That day, I first saw you, oh, oh, passing by
I wanted to know your name but I was much too shy
I wanted to know your name but I was much too shy
But I was looking at you so hard
But I was looking at you so hard
Until you must have had a hunch
Until you must have had a hunch
So you came up to me and asked me my name
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, that time
You beat me to the punch, oh, oh, oh, oh
You beat me to the punch, oh, oh, oh, oh
You beat me to the punch
You beat me to the punch
Oh oh oh, after I had known you for it seems like a long, long time
Oh oh oh, 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
I wanted, wanted to ask you, would you please, please be mine
Whenever you came around, my heart would pound
Whenever you came around, my heart would pound
So you must have had a hunch
So you must have had a hunch
So you came up to me and asked me to be yours
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 one more time
You beat me to the punch, oh, oh, oh, oh
You beat me to the punch, oh, oh, oh, oh
You beat me to the punch, yeah
You beat me to the punch, yeah
Since I love you, I thought you would be true and love me tender
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
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
But I found out beyond a doubt one day boy, you were a playboy
Who would go away and leave me blue
Who would go away and leave me blue
So I ain't gonna wait around for you to put me down
So I ain't gonna wait around for you to put me down
This time I'm gonna play my hunch
This time I'm gonna play my hunch
And walk away this very day
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
This time, I'll beat you to the punch
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
And let you know, know
And let you know, know
How it feels, oh, oh, oh
How it feels, oh, oh, oh
