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

For the more I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued

So I repeat myself, at the risk of being cruel

There must be fifty ways to leave your lover, fifty ways to leave your lover

Chorus:

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, and get yourself free

(repeats 2x)

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, then 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
