Beaten To The Punch Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Beaten To The Punch Lyrics

    You say that you can and then you run to get your mummy
    And you're almost beaten to the punch
    Looking for the man who sold you the dummy
    And you're almost beaten to the punch
    Laughing at the older guys who say it's just as well
    Saved by the wedding bell
    Almost beaten to the punch

    You're looking for somebody new that you can knock around
    You are almost beaten to the punch
    If you've got a head for figures then you'd better count me out
    You were almost beaten to the punch
    You pulled the piece but you soon called it love
    You go hand in glove
    Almost beaten to the punch

    Your body speaks much louder than your voice
    You let it do the talking so i don't have any choice

    Now you find the younger guys are putting up resistance
    And you're almost beaten to the punch
    You better get out now because you'll never go the distance
    And you're almost beaten to the punch
    You'll find a girl and you'll promise her anything
    Even a wedding ring
    Almost beaten to the punch
