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 

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
