If you'll just keep busy,
you won't wonder if he is kissin'
and holdin' her tight.
Just don't start thinkin'
or you might start drinkin'
And what would you do
with tonight?
Eternity's stretchin' in every direction
The minutes just start, they don't end
You pick a book up,
that's when you get shook up,
A reflex reaction sets in.
You pick up her picture,
and feel such a mixture
Of heartache and love in your heart
If you were together,
you don't know whether
You'd kiss her or tear her apart
You'd daydream that maybe
your sweet brown -eyed baby
Will tell you how wrong she has been
And just for a fraction
You feel satisfaction
And reflex reaction sets in
So you think you will go out
And have you a blowout
The night is so cool and so crisp
But the blondes are too frowzy
The brunettes too blousy
The redheads just giggle and lisp
So you pick one at random
Oh, how you handled a line
that was once sure to win
Then who walks through the door
with a girl you can't score with
And a reflex reaction sets in you
