you say that you'll get him and you run and 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 that you can knock-about

you were almost beaten to the punch

if you've got a head for figures then you better count me out

you were almost beaten to the punch

you pull the piece but you soon call it love

you go ahead and end up

almost beaten to the punch



your body speaks so much louder than your voice

you let it do the talking so I don't have any choice

and now you find that younger guys are putting up resistance

and you're almost beaten to the punch

you'd better get out now because you'll never go the distance

and you're almost beaten to the punch

and you'll find a girl and you'll promise her anything

even a wedding ring

almost beaten to the punch
