Elvis Costello

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
