Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover

"The 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

Could I repeat myself, at the risk of being crude?

There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

Fifty ways to leave your lover"

You just slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

You just get yourself free

Or you hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Yep, just drop off Stevie

And get yourself free

Slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

You just listen to me

Or you hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Yep, just drop off Stevie

And get yourself free

She said, "It grieves me so to see you in such pain

I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again"

I said, "I appreciate that, and 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

You just slip out the back, Jack

You don't need to be coy, Roy

You just get yourself free

Or you hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Yep, just drop off Stevie

And get yourself free

Slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

You just listen to me

Or you hop on the bus, Gus
