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
furtermore i hope my meaning won´t be lost or misconstrued
but i´ll repeat my self, at the risk of being crude
there must be 50 ways to leave your lover

just slip out the back, Jack
make a new plan, Stan
don´t need to be coy, Roy
just get yourself free
hop on the bus, Gus
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 50 ways.

she said, why don´t we both just sleep on it tonight
and i believe that 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...

just slip out the back, Jack
make a new plan, Stan
don´t need to be coy, Roy
just get yourself free
hop on the bus, Gus
don´t need to discuss much
just drop off the key, Lee
and get yourself free.
