Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid, turned it blue
[Verse 2]
Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
We all need to do something
Try keep the truth from showing up
[Verse 3]
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
[Verse 4]
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
[Verse 5]
You're given a flower
But I guess there's just no pleasing you
Your lip tastes sour
But you think that it's just me teasing you
[Verse 6]
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid and turned it blue
[Verse 7]
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
[Verse 8]
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
[Verse 9]
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid, turned it blue
