50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

The problem's 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 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 rude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
You just listen to me
Back 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 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 fifty ways

She said now why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And in the morning, I believe that you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized that she was probably right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
