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 First I was ashamed Then I was inflamed I wanted to hurt you Saidthat delayed reaction, oh no 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 First I was ashamed And then I was inflamed I wanted to hurt you Say that delayed reaction, oh no 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 Oh, 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 you (Delayed reaction, oh no) Just let the love blow You've had a dirty fight (Delayed 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 wanna let it go (Delayed reaction, oh yeah) Ooh and the boy's so fine And I'm twice the fool (Delayed reaction, oh no) I can't imagine why
