Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover - Paul Simon

«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
