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.
You know it s really not my habit to intrude,
Furthermore I hope my meaning won t be lost or miss-construed,
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
Just slip out the back jack, make a new plan stan,
No need to be coy Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus gus, don t need to discuss much,
Just drop off the key Lee, and set yourself free (2x)
You know 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
Bout the fifty ways"
She said "why don t we both just sleep on it tonight,
And I believe that in the morning you ll begin to see the light."
She kissed me and I realised, she probably was right,
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,
No need to be coy Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus gus, don t need to discuss much,
Just drop off the key Lee, and set yourself free (2x)
