The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
Id like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said its really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning wont be lost or misconstrued
But Ill 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 dont need to be coy, roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont 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 dont need to be coy, roy
Just listen to me <-----------
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont 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 dont we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning youll 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 dont need to be coy, roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont 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 dont need to be coy, roy
Just listen to me <------------
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free

Should we have the bird, third?
Have the bratwurst, first?
Or have the roast boar, before

Don't wanna eat a pea, pre

There are two entrances five exits to the store,
And I'll free the goods with boltcutters or a hammer from next door
I'll escape on foot, on bike, on trike, or in car: that makes four
There are 80 ways to steal a toaster

And when I sat for an exam quite recently
And I saw a multi-choice question on probability
I could have chosen any one of a,b,c or d or e
There were 5 ways to pick an answer

It coulda been a, hey
I chould've chose b, see
But then it could be, c
See how it be?

Seven hundred Eighty Eight seats I can see
And the dean must be in front and both my parents in row 'D'
