Delayed Reaction - Foghat

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

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)

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…
