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
