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 meanin'
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
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
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 somethin'
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 mornin'
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
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
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
Just drop off the key Lee
and get yourself free
