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 

You just slip out the back, Jack 
Make a new plan, Stan 
You don't need to be coy, Roy 
Just get yourself free 
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 was probably right 
There must be fifty ways 
To leave your lover 
Fifty ways to leave your lover
