Lyrics

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
