Delayed Reaction
You strike a low blow, you fight a dirty fight
Right to the heart, you're putting me away
Time was moving slow, but I was in control
There were so many things I should've said
But I couldn't think of one word
(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
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
Well, you would 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 with 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'd wanna let it go
(Delayed reaction, oh, yeah) ooh, yeah
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
Right to the heart, you're putting me away
Time was moving slow, but I was in control
There were so many things I should've said
But I couldn't think of one word
(Delayed reaction) oh, yeah
At first, I was ashamed
And then, I was inflamed

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