Lyrics

Dave peverett - riff bros. music - ascap

After all is said and done, it wasn't hard to be the lonely one
Sad, but not a tear was shed, you agreed with every word I said
I had my new life started, I couldn't be downhearted
Days rolled slowly by, finally you stayed out of my mind

I filed your name under "forgotten", and then somebody pushed the panic button
Suddenly my nerves were shakin', I realized I could have been mistaken
Then like they say like you're supposed ta', I'm ridin' on a roller coaster
I found love too late, too bad she's not the waiting kind

I never felt like this before, I had to use my imagination
Love came to my door, too late for the invitation
Delayed reaction, reaction, reaction - delayed reaction, (reaction, reaction)

It's a mystery to me, I don't know why our love is history
At the time I didn't know it, and it's so easy for a fool to blow it
You can call me a fool now, I don't feel quite so cool now
Guess I was out of time, love was waiting somewhere down the line

I never felt like this before, I had to use my imagination
Love came to my door, too late for the invitation
Delayed reaction, reaction, reaction - delayed reaction, (reaction, reaction)

My heart is growin' fonder - I don't mean henry and I don't mean jane
I got the time to wonder, if it's too late to make her mine again

{Erik - solo}

I never felt like this before, I had to use my imagination
Love came to my door, too late for the invitation
Delayed reaction, reaction, reaction - delayed reaction, (reaction, reaction)
Delayed reaction, reaction, reaction - delayed reaction, (reaction, reaction)

{Erik - solo}

Yea yea-ee-hey yeah - yea yea-ee-hey yeah - whoa now no nah ha ha
Never, no I never, said I never - I never felt like this before, no
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before..
Oh whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
I said delayed reaction, ay, I said delayed reaction, yeah
I said delayed reaction, I'm talkin' bout delayed reaction
Yea yea-ee-hey yeah - yea yea-ee-hey yea
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before
D-e-l-a-y-e-d, delayed reaction - d-e-l-a-y-e-d, delayed reaction
Yeah..
Oh, take me back to brixton, man..
