I went in search of a
Reasonable man
The one I read about in books
And I drew me up a planI said "I'd like to meet him on a corner if I can"
And then we could take either road
depending upon where we standI 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 soundIn 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" lineI 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 downwe need more reasonable menand I said oooh you're selling us short
reasonable manand 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
