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

You make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Ah

You just get yourself free

You hop on the bus, Gus

There's no need to discuss much

You just drop off the key, Lee

Ah

And get yourself free

You just slip out the back, Jack

You make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Ah

You just get yourself free

You hop on the bus, Gus

There's no need to discuss much

You just drop off the key, Lee

Ah

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

And 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

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

You make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Ah

You just get yourself free

You hop on the bus, Gus

There's no need to discuss much

You just drop off the key, Lee

Ah

And get yourself free

C'mon

You just slip out the back, Jack

You make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Ah

You just listen to me

You hop on the bus, Gus

There's no need to discuss much

You just drop off the key, Lee

Ah

And get yourself free

And you get yourself free
