The Right Thing - Eugene Ruffolo

I've been searching for the right thing

I've been looking in the sweetest places

But in the lines of every lover's face

I see a lingering question mark

I've been hoping for the right thing

Something big enough to fill me up

And all I've been through no it's not enough

To turn me off or make me turn away

Just give me one good reason

And I'll let it go right now

But isn't love the answer

We're all searching for somehow

I've been searching for the right thing

I've been looking in the strangest places

But it the mystery of each stranger's face

I see a lingering question mark

And I've been wondering bout this right thing

Would I know it if it came along

And would the beauty of 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 searching for the right thing

Something brave enough to save the day

That's strong and true and never goes away

To make it all make sense somehow

Just 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 searching for the right thing
