Lyrics
Shock Delayed
Words by Lesley Curtis
Music by Lesley Curtis/JR Turnbull
Verse 1
When I said I trusted you, I thought you understood
The peace of mind baby that I knew made me feel real good
When you gave me confidence, I didn?t have to say
But I never even stood a chance, the change had come too late
Chorus
Now I?m shock delayed, shock delayed,
Baby I?m just shock delayed, baby baby, I?m just shock delayed
Just shock delayed
Verse 2
When I told you how much I cared, I thought you were concerned
And all the good times we had shared said my feelings were returned
And when you kissed me tenderly, I thought the sun was mine
And when you held me I could see, the sun begin to shine, but I was..
Middle
Now I know that you were fooling, you should have told the truth
I should have known that you were playing
Understood what you were saying,
Now I know you?re not the staying kind, but I was..
