50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
Words & music by 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
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
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
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
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
