"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 50 ways to leave your lover
I 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 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
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
You 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
I said, "It grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again"
He said, "I appreciate that and would you please explain about the 50 ways"
I 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 he kissed me
And I realized that probably was right
