Lyrics
KNEE JERK REACTION
I ain't never been an angry man
I'm as calm as a Hindu Cow
It takes too much to boil my blood
It seems to pass me by somehow
When I seen him trying to kiss my girl
And put his hands where they shouldn't be
I felt my temperature rising up
So I had to intervene
It was Knee Jerk Reaction
That put him on the floor
It was a Knee Jerk Reaction
That bust that Cowboy's jaw
I hold my hands up, admit I was wrong
And next time I'll count to ten
But if he puts his paws where they don't belong
I'll have a knee jerk reaction again
I ain't never been a passionate man
I keep my feelings outa sight
I find it hard to show my love
Never had that appetite
But I admit that I'm a jealous guy
And when I saw him touch my girl
This two-bit cowboy Casanova
Made me lose control
It was Knee Jerk Reaction
That put him on the floor
It was a Knee Jerk Reaction
That bust that Cowboy's jaw
I hold my hands up, admit I was wrong
Next time I'll count to ten
But if he puts his paws where they don't belong
I'll have a knee jerk reaction again
It was Knee Jerk Reaction
That put him on the floor
It was a Knee Jerk Reaction
That bust that Cowboy's jaw
I hold my hands up, admit I was wrong
Next time I'll count to ten
But if he puts his paws where they don't belong
I'll have a knee jerk reaction again
Knee Jerk Reaction, Knee Jerk Reaction
