50 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
 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
 Just get yourself free
 Hop on the bus, Gus
 You don't need to discuss much
 Just drop off the key, Lee
 And get yourself free
 Oh slip out the back, Jack
 Make a new plan, Stan
 You don't need to be coy, Roy
 Just listen to me
 Hop on the bus, Gus
 You don't need to discuss much

 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

 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
