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.

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...
