FIFTY WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER

"Problem is all inside your head", she said to me
"The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover"

She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
So I repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover"

Just slip out the back, Jack, you make a new plan
Stan, don't need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, get yourself free

Slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan,
Stan, don't need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, get yourself free

She said, "It grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was somethin' I could do to make you smile again"
I said, "I appreciate that would you please explain
About the fifty ways"

She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light"
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

Just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan
Stan, don't need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, get yourself free

Slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan,
Stan, don't need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, get yourself free
