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
