50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

3 views

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 50 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 50 ways to leave your lover
 50 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
 You 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 50 ways to leave your lover
 50 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
 Oh, you 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
 You 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
