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
