50 Ways to Leave Your Lover Lyrics by Laura Benanti

Laura Benanti

2020

"The problem's all inside your head," she said to me
"The answer's 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
Well, hop on the bus, Gus
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 50 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 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
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Well, hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Oh, Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Well, hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
