Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave You Lover by Paul Simon 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 50 ways to leave your lover
She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furtermore i hope my meaning won't
Be lost or misconstrued
But i'll repeat my self
At the risk of being crude
There must be 50 ways to leave your lover

Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
Don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free hop on the bus, Gus
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 50 ways she said
Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And i believe that 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 50 ways to leave your lover
50 ways to leave your lover
