Delayed Reaction Lyrics

Music:Hall



 Lyrics:Hall/Oates/S. Allen



 



 You strike a low blow



 You fight a dirty fight



 Right to the heart you're putting me away



 Time was movin' slow



 But I was in control



 There were so many things I should've said



 But couldn't think of one word



 (Delayed reaction) oh yeah



 At first I was ashamed



 Then I was inflamed



 I wanted to hurt you



 Say that (delayed reaction) oh no



 At first I was alright



 And then I had to fight



 I wanted to hurt you 



 I wanted to hurt you so



 



 It was a backlash



 No I couldn't let it pass



 I was so mad I couldn't keep it down



 I made it real tough



 Ooh I had to blow you off



 I couldn't stand it having you around



 I couldn't stand the sound, no



 (Delayed reaction) oh yeah



 At first I was ashamed



 And then I was inflamed



 I wanted to hurt you 



 Say that (delayed reaction) oh no



 At first I was alright



 And then I had to fight with you



 I wanted to hurt you



 I wanted to hurt you so



 But if the rage is right



 Then you better be wrong



 'Cause if I force a fight well then I'm twice a fool



 Ooh, I could've listened more



 Was that what you were waiting for?



 I can't imagine why 



 I can't imagine why



 I can't imagine why you'd wanna let it go



 I didn't wanna blow but 



 (Delayed reaction) oh yeah



 At first I was ashamed



 And then I was inflamed



 I wanted to hurt you



 Say that delayed reaction oh no



 At first I was alright



 And then I had to fight with you



 I wanted to hurt you so



 (Delayed reaction) oh yeah



 Ooh I had to fight, fight, fight you



 (Delayed reaction oh no)



 Just had to let the love blow to fight a dirty fight



 9Delayed reaction oh yeah)



 What good is saying I lost my head I didn't mean it girl



 (Delayed reaction) oh no



 Ooh baby, ooh baby



 I can't imagine why you want to let it go



 (Delayed reaction)



 Ooh, yeah the boys are fine and I'm twice the fool



 (Delayed reaction) oh no



 I can't imagine why, I can't imagine why
