| 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. |
