50 Ways To Leave Your Lover

Songwriters  SIMON, PAUL

"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

Ooo 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
