I'm not certain of any special procedures to posting lyrics since I'm new to

this group, but I saw two requests to have this posted and this is the

way I like to read music, so here goes:

Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover

Words and Music by Paul Simon, 1975

"The problem is all inside your head," she said to me

"the answer is easy if you take it logic'lly.

I'm here to help you if you're struggling to be free;

there must be fifty ways to leave your lover."

She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude;

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."

Just slip out the back, Jack.

Make a new plan, Stan;

You don't need to be coy, Roy,

just get yourself free. (on repeat: Just listen to me)

Hop on the bus, Gus;

You don't need to discuss much;

Just drop off the key, Lee.

and get yourself free.

Second verse:

She said, "It grieves me now to see you in such pain; I

wish there was somethin' I could do to make you smile again."

I said, "I appreciate that, and could you please explain about the

fifty ways?"

She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight;

I'm sure 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."

REPEAT CHORUS twice.

bizarre, so your guess is probably as good as mine. Happy fingering!
