"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 
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 

Ooh, slip out the back, Jack 
Make a new plan, Stan 
You don't need to be coy, Roy 
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 

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"
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 
And 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 
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 
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
