"The problem is all inside your head," she said to me
"The answer is 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 so to see you in such pain
I wish that there was something I could do to make you smile again"
I said, "I appreciate that and now would you please explain
About the, the 50 ways"

She said, "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 probably was 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

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

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
