Reasonable Man

I went in search of a

Reasonable man

The one I read about in books

And I drew me up a plan

I said "I'd like to meet him on a corner if I can"

And then we could take either road

Depending upon where we stand

I went in search of a

Reasonable man

And I thought "Ooh it must be lonely

To be the only voice of reason"

The sky went so rosy

Now I hear a rumbling sound

In silence drinking coffee

For a reasonable time

He said "you're looking pretty"

And I said "you're looking at your prime"

Contender for the future

Will you be mine

But his straight-laced face

It all folded up

And he took that "it's not so simple" line

I went in search of a

Reasonable man

And I thought "Ooh it must be lonely

To be the only voice of reason"

The sky went so rosy

Now my world is crumbling down

We need more reasonable men

And I said oooh you're selling us short

Reasonable man

And I said ooh where's your heart, reasonable man

Cause when I look on that star

Will you go reasonable man

When the going gets tough

Will you go reasonable man

And when the going gets tough

Will you go reasonable man
