50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

Paul Simon

03:28

Composer: Paul Simon

Lyricist: Paul Simon

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

Just 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
