            A
Reaction to action
I need reaction to action

      F             G
It's hard getting through to me
     Em     F
I'm truly elusive
G        F             D  C
I got my own point of view
         G         F
I am the one of a kind
      Em             F
And I tell you l'il girl
   G      F        D C
I'm fascinated by you
         G               F
There's something about you
      Em      F
That makes all the difference
G         F           D  C
Like the night is to day
            G                 F
Well I can get along without you
       Em        F
But I know that within you
        G            F
You've got what I'm missing
         D
And I'll find a way

Chorus:
        A
To get reaction to action
Hey, say the word that would thrill me
Yeah, I need reaction to action
Just one look that would kill me

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 going to play

Chorus:
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

Give me reaction to action
It's getting late I'd better make a definite move
Reaction to action
And after that baby, it's up to you
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
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[x6]
