Lyrics
"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 50 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 rude"
"There must be 50 ways to leave your lover"
50 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
You 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 now 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"
"The 50 ways"
She said "Now why don't we both 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 50 ways to leave your lover
50 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
Just hop on the bus, Gus
Don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
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
You hop on the bus, Gus
Don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
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
