[Verse 1]
"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 leavе your lover

[Chorus]
You just slip out the back, Jack
You make a nеw plan, Stan
There's no need to be coy, Roy
Ohh, you just get yourself free
You hop on the bus, Gus
There's no need to discuss much
You just drop off the key, Lee
Ohh, and you get yourself free
You slip out the back, Jack
You make a new plan, Stan
There's no need to be coy, Roy
Ohh, you just get yourself free
You hop on the bus, Gus
There's no need to discuss much
You just drop off the key, Lee
Ohh, and you get yourself free
[Verse 2]
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
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
There are fifty ways to leave your lover

[Chorus]
You just slip out the back, Jack
You make a new plan, Stan
There's no need to be coy, Roy
Ohh, you just get yourself free
You hop on the bus, Gus
There's no need to discuss much
You just drop off the key, Lee
Ohh, and you get yourself free, c'mon
You slip out the back, Jack
You make a new plan, Stan
There's no need to be coy, Roy
Ohh, you just listen to me
You hop on the bus, Gus
There's no need to discuss much
You just drop off the key, Lee
Ohh, and you get yourself free
And you get yourself free
