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

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

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

And I said, "Ooh, it must be lonely

To be the only voice of reason"

The sky went so rosy

Now my world is crumbling down

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

We need more reasonable men

And I said, "Ooh, you're selling us short, reasonable man"

And I said, "Ooh, where's your heart, reasonable man?"

'Cause when the going gets tough

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Will you go a reasonable man?

When the going gets tough

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Will you go a reasonable man?

And when the going gets tough

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Will you go a reasonable man?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
