(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
|
|
CHORUS:
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
CHORUS
