The Right Thing

Ive been searchin for the right thing
Ive been lookin in the sweetest places
But in the lines of every lover’s face
I see a lingering question mark

Ive been hopin for the right thing
Something big enough to fill me up
And all Ive been through- no it’s not enough
To turn me off- or make me turn away

Give me one good reason
And I’ll let it go right now
But isn’t love the answer
we’re all searchin for somehow?

I’ve been searching for the right thing
Ive been lookin in the strangest places
But in the mystery of each stranger’s face
I see a lingering question mark.

And I’ve been wonderin bout this right thing
Would I know it if it came along?
Would the beauty if it prove me wrong?
Would it turn my world around?

Just give me one good reason
And I’ll let it go right now
But that would be the wrong thing
And what good would it do anyhow?

Cause we’re all searchin for the right thing
Something brave enough to save the day
That’s strong and true and never goes away
That’ll make it all make sense somehow

Give me one good reason
And I’ll let it go right now
And if you find a better way home
Baby won’t you show me how

Yeah I’ve been searchin for the right thing
