"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 fifty ways to leave your lover"

Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
So I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover"

You make a new plan, Stan
Don't need to be coy, Roy

Don't need to discuss much
You just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Ooh, slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
You just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
Don't need to discuss much
You just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
