The problem is all inside your head
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
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
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
Ooh, slip out the back, Jack
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
She said, it grieves me so
to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
I said, I appreciate that
And would you please explain
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 I realized 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
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
Ooh, slip out the back, Jack
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
