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 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
