Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover lyrics

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.

Refrein:

Just Slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You Don't need to be coy, Roy

Just get yourself free.

Oh, Hop on the bus, Gus

Don't need to discuss much

Just drop of the key, Lee

And get yourself free.

Refrein 2:

Oeh, slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Y' just don't need to discuss much.

Just drop of 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 realised she probably was right

There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

Fifty ways to leave your lover.

Refrein.

Refrein 2.
