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 [bad word] 
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover

He said it’s really not my habit
To [bad word] 
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won’t be lost or [bad word] 
But I’ll repeat myself
At the risk of being [bad word] 
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

 [bad word] 
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

He 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

He 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
