HALL & OATES - Delayed Reaction lyrics

rate me

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 soundno

(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

OohI 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 fightfightfight 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 babyooh baby

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

(delayed reaction)

Oohyeah the boys are fine and I'm twice the fool

(delayed reaction) oh no

I can't imagine whyI can't imagine why
