Artist/Band: The National
Lyrics for Song: A Reasonable Man (I Don't Mind)
Lyrics for Album: Cherry Tree [2004]



I don't mind losing a girl to herself

A quiet love is better than none

And I don't mind losing a friend to a friend

If only to be a reasonable man



And I don't mind waiting if it's for the best

A careful heart is better than none

I don't mind painting my back with the past

Pictures in resolute pain

Smoothing the laugh o'er the lane



But if it happens to you

The same kind of deal

I recommend fire

Instead of the fool



I don't mind shaking your hand at the door

If only to be a resolute man (Pictures in resolute pain)

If only to be a resolute man

If only to be a resolute man



But if it happens to you

The same kind of deal

I recommend fire

Instead of the fool



I don't mind shaking your hand at the door

If only to be a resolute man (Pictures in resolute pain)

If only to be a resolute man

If only to be a resolute man



If only to be a reasonable man

If only to be a reasonable man
