[Verse 1]
"The problem is all inside your head," he 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 a lover"

[Verse 2]
He said, "It's really not my habit to intrude
And 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 a lover"
Fifty ways to leavе a lover

[Chorus]
Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a nеw plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Or hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

[Verse 3]
He said, "It grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there were something I could do to make you smile again"
I said, "I appreciate that, and could you please explain
About those fifty ways?"
[Verse 4]
He 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 he kissed me, I realized he probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave a lover
Fifty ways to leave a lover

[Chorus]
Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
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
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

[Outro]
Freedom, freedom, freedom
Listen to me
Zip up your fly, Guy
I gotta set myself free
Pack up your bam, Lan
Put it back in, Vin
I gotta set you loose, Bruce
To set myself free
You're just a pal, Sal
Stop chasin', Jason
There's someone new, Drew
I'm free
Olé?
No way, José
Come bother U-Haul [?]
Fifty ways
Fifty ways
Fifty ways to leave a lover
