Lyrics
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

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

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
