Beaten To The Punch |
| 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 |
