50 Ways to Leave Your Lover Songtext
von Rosemary Clooney

"The problem is all inside your head," he 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"

He said, "It's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won′t be lost or misconstrued
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
No need to be coy, Roy, just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus, no need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free


Slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan
No need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, no need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free

He said, "It grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to help you smile again"
I said, "I appreciate that
And would you please explain about the fifty ways?"

He 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 he kissed me and I realized he probably was right
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
Don′t need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, no 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
No need to be coy, Roy, just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus, there's no need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free
