"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
Ooo 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 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
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
