Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Reaction to action
I need reaction to action
It's hard getting through to me
I'm truly elusive
I got my own point of view
I am the one of a kind
And I tell you lil' girl
I'm fascinated by you
See, there's something about you
That makes all the difference
Like the night is to day
Well I can get along without you
But I know that within you
You've got what I'm missing
And I'll find a way
To get reaction to action
Hey, say the word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
Just one look that probably kill me
Hey! You got a way
Of drawing attention to you
You know you stand out in a crowd
But the way that you play
With any man's affections
Should never be allowed
See, I consider myself
The one who will show you
I'd go as far as to say
Girl, I ain't leaving here without you
But you better understand
There's only one rule in this game we're gonna play
And that's reaction to action
Maybe like a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
One look that would kill me
I need reaction to action
Just a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
You know what I'm talking about
Give me some reaction to action (give me some, give me some)
You got a look, you got a way that'll kill me
(Reaction to action!) Reaction to action, action
Baby, don't think about it, just react
(Reaction to action!) Reaction to action
(Reaction to action!)
(Reaction to action!)
