50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

"The problem's all inside your head," she said to me

The answer's easy, if we 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

But I'll 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 listen to me

Hop on the bus, Gus

Don't need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee

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. Now would you please explain

About the fifty ways"

She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight?

And in the morning, I believe that you'll begin to see the light"

Then she kissed me and I realized that she was probably right

There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

Fifty ways to leave your lover
