Hall & Oates - Delayed Reaction lyrics

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 There was a backlash No I couldn't let it pa** 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) You strike a low blow, you fight a dirty fight (Delayed reaction oh yeah) What could I say, I lost my head, I didn't mean it girl (Delayed reaction oh no) Ooh baby, ooh baby I can't imagine why you wanna let it go (Delayed reaction) Ooh, and if I force a fight then I'm twice a fool (Delayed reaction oh no) I can't imagine why, I can't imagine why
