50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
50 ways to leave your lover
Words & music by paul simon
The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
Id like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
She said its really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning wont be lost or misconstrued
But Ill 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 dont need to be coy, roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont 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 dont need to be coy, roy
Just listen to me <-----------
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont 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 fifty ways
She said why dont we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning youll 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
Just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
You dont need to be coy, roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free
You just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
You dont need to be coy, roy
Just listen to me <------------
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free

Sad Lover
Alright
Yeah
Whoa
If you want love
Dont come to me
Ill be the last to give you sympathy
Ive got my ways
Under the covers
Ill be the last to be your back door lover
Dont you cry now
Not around me
Baby I dont need that kinda company
Sad lover
Queen of hearts misery
Sad lover
You just aint what I need
You got your ways
And Ive got mine
I tell the truth
But youre out there lyin
Face it girl
White aint black
This time its over
Dont come back

Dont be a ghost when you finally die.

Something
Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she wo--os me
I dont want to leave her now, you know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows, that I dont need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I dont want to leave her now, you know I believe and how
Youre asking me will my love grow,
I dont know, I dont know
You stick around now it may show,
I dont know, I dont know
[guitar solo]
Something in the way she knows, and all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I dont want to leave her now, you know I believe and how

Lover Lover Lover
I asked my father,
I said, father change my name.
The one Im using now its covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame.
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me,
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me.
He said, I locked you in this body,
I meant it as a kind of trial.
You can use it for a weapon,
Or to make some woman smile.
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me,
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me.
Then let me start again, I cried,
Please let me start again,
I want a face thats fair this time,
I want a spirit that is calm.
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me,
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me.
I never never turned aside, he said,
I never walked away.
It was you who built the temple,
It was you who covered up my face.
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me,
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me.
And may the spirit of this song,
May it rise up pure and free.
May it be a shield for you,
A shield against the enemy.
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me,
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me.
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me,
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me.

I Dont Know Your Name
Emily:
I walked into my favorite place one night
Id just gotten back from a lecture
And I was feeling kind of uptight
And at the edge of the bar there was this guy
And you know I wasnt really looking
But I caught him out of the corner of my eye
The next thing I know he was moving my way
I thought he wanted to talk
But this is what he had to say
Amy:
I dont know your name babe
But I want to be your lover
Yall sing it with me
I dont know your name babe
But I want to be your lover
Your lover your lover your lover
One time or another baby
I want to be your lover
Emily:
I have to admit I was a little bit surprised
But I wasnt really scared cause I was twice his size
So I said to myself, okay, Ill play his game
And when he turned to me
I gave him my name
Amy:
I know your name babe
But I got to know your number
I know your name babe
But I got to know your number your number
I said one time or another baby
Im gonna be your lover
Yeah I wanna be your lover
Emily:
Well I said to myself this guy is persistent
Hes a little bit dumb but at least hes consistent
I tried to talk cool but when we touched I went under
I made a quick decision and I gave him my number
Amy:
I know your number
But I dont know what to say babe
Emily:
Thats ok
Amy:
I know your number
Your number babe
But I dont know what to say to you
Say to you say to you say to you darling
Oh it dont matter anyway no
I dont talk when Im make love to you babe
I dont talk when I make love
I wanna be you lover
I wanna be you lover
Lover lover
Lover lover
Lover lover
Emily:
Well you probably wont believe this
But we got married one day
And I still dont know if he speaks english
cause he doesnt have much to say
Its a damn good thing I like lying around
We dont make much conversation
But love makes sounds
You know what Im talking about
Yall know what Im talking about
Well one thing Ive learned from being in this state
Emily and amy:
There are other ways to communicate
Amy:
I dont know your name babe
But I want to be your lover
Dont know your name babe
But I want to be your lover
Your lover your lover your lover
One time or another baby
Im gonna be your lover

I Want A Lover
At this time of night, when the crowds have passed
Were the last to leave, we need some company
No need to look so shy, dont even wonder why
You know the reason that we need this company
Ive been sitting here, looking out for you
Someone just like me, whos maybe had a drink or two
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight
Outside the dawn is breaking, looks like its started raining
Well catch a cab, and soon be driving home
No need to look so shy, dont even wonder why
Youll know the reason just as soon as we get home
Youve been sitting there, wondering what to do
Ive been standing here, waiting to make the first move
Ahaha
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight (tonight)
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight
This anticipation is a stimulation
No need for conversation as were driving home
Put your arms around me, it doesnt mean you love me
Just that you want me and you need my company
Driving through the night, its so exciting
Turning off the light without another thought tonight
Ahaha
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight (I want a lover tonight)
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight
(I want you, I want your love) - I want a lover
(I want you, I want your love) - I want a lover
(I want you, I want your love) - I want a lover (I want your love tonight)

Dont Leave Me Now
Dont leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
Leave me out with nowhere to go
And the shadows start to fall
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When Im old and cold and grey and time is gone...

Damn I Wanna Be Your Lover
My hearts in chains
And still remains in deja vu
But first I wanna spend the night with you
Everything you need
Come get it from me
Set your emotions free
Oh, yes baby
Come on and give in the name of love
And let our bodies slowly touch
Tonight lets move on
Chorus:
Yes I do
Take you to be
How about you and me
Damn I wanna be your lover
Dont refuse
Cuz I need you
Damn I wanna be your lover
(I wanna be your love, your lover, oh baby, yeah, yeah)
Verse 2:
Why dont you stay
Desert will make you
Call out my name
My first and my last name
That she is being
All youll ever need
To take you higher than eyes can see
Oh, yes baby
Why dont you give in the name of love
And let our bodies be common
Cuz tonight I wanna give you all
Baby, lets move on
Repeat 1
(I wanna be your lover, your lover, your lover, baby)
I dont wanna have to compromise
The things you make me visualize
Intuition keeps on telling me
These emotions need to be set free
Dont you want to give it to me
Well feel the heavens prophecy
Take a visit to my paradise
We can hang around
For the rest of our lives
Repeat 1 until fade

Ive Got To Be Free
Music :ulrich roth
Lyrics:ulrich roth
Youre burnin my heart
Youre burnin my mind
Youre spoilin my art
Youre wasting my time
No taste in your actions
No taste in your line
No tears now...
Just dont do you ever mind
You say you wanna be a superstar
Youre givin up half to get that far
You say you wanna ride a diamond car
But I dont like your fancy car
Hey hey hey, dont you wanna see
Im not your steppin stone
Hey hey hey, Ive gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
Youre in love with success
Youre spilling my wine
No part of my address, babe
Your ways arent mine
You may got the money
But your wastin my life
Im not your bugs bunny
And youre not my wife
You say you only do it for affect
But you dont wanna see what I detest
I think youre depraved
Im gonna leave you so
But you cant see what I see so let me go
Hey hey hey, dont you wanna see
Im not your steppin stone
Hey hey hey, Ive gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
Hey hey hey, dont you wanna see
Im not your steppin stone
Hey hey hey, Ive gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
Hey hey hey, dont you wanna see
Im not your steppin stone
Hey hey hey, Ive gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone

Dont Leave Me
Youre sweet just like the sun
But what happens when the sun doesnt stay?
The night reminds me when you went away
Now my mind was pacing, heart is racing contemplating things that I lack
Even though you left me by myself, do I want you back?
Will you stay or will you walk?
Will you let go?
Leave me all alone
Im giving you one more chance
To make things last
Ring around the roses then shell stay
Leave me once
Leave me twice
Kiss good-bye that will suffice
When you go away
Dont look back
Leave me once and Ill be fine
Leave me twice Ill make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again
As the days go by, I am asking why did you leave
You left me alone and then you walked out on me
Thinking of days, thinking of ways, thhinking of things that I should say
I wanna be with you and thats the only way
Dont say good-bye, just dry your eyes
A tear for everything that I did wrong
Dont say goodbye, just dry your eyes
Listen now just try and see me please dont leave me now.

Not You Again
Oh, no, not you again
Please dont tell me
Youre here to stay
See I dont want to hear
Go away, go away
I like piano
I like to tv
Yeah I like my style, ya know, and I like to dream
I like color of the rainbow, they like to please me
But I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Ive told you before and Ill tell you again, and again, and again
Cant you get it thru your head
Youre not my friend
And Ive tried to be nice but now Im not going to lie
So I suggest you leave before I make you cry, bye
I like to be sulky
I like being vile
I like to make you angry, I like it all the while
I like to know that youre hated, it makes me smile
But I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Oh, no, not you again
Oh, no, not you again
Why, why, why, why me?
Why, why, why, why me?
I like where Im living
I like my view
I like anyone who detests you as I do
So I must find everyone including me too
cause I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Im sorry
Oh, no, not you again
Oh, no, not you again
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
Oh, no, not you again
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
I dont have to give a reason
I dont have to give a reason, if I dont want to
Hello? I said hello.

Free As The Morning Sun
Dont expect and you wont be disappointed
And dont judge
Offer your love
Dont make promises to the world
Keep them to yourself
Youll be better off
Hey! I know what Im talking about
I know what Im talking about
Dont complain
Go out and do it yourself
Later on, youll be better off
Dont look back, especially if its painful
Turn within, youre going to find delight

Set Me Free
(ransford)
Walking down the street
Standing looking at me
If you dont wanna know me
How happy I will be
Dont cross over the street to me
If you dont want my love
Set me free
I see you walking by
Love light in your eye
I just remember all those lies
So dont cross over the street to me
If you dont want my love set me free
Baby cant you leave me alone
Baby why dont you go on home
Baby dont you know that we are through
I dont need your love so set me free
Why dont you realise
That you and I are through
Every day I see you make me blue
So dont cross over the street to me
If you dont want my love set me free
If you dont want my love set me free
If you dont want my love set me free

Fancy Dan
Roy orbison/ joe melson
Well fancy dan, hes a bright young man
Hes a lover
Well fancy dan, hes ahead of the clan
Hes a lover
Well the words around that all the boys in town
Are gonna tear his playhouse down
But that dont bother young dan, hes not a fighting man
Hes the swingingest lover around
Well dont underestimate fancy dan
Hes the leader of a local band
Dont you dare leave your baby alone
Hes a modern pied piper on the saxophone
Well fancy dan, man oh man
Hes a smoothie
Well fancy dan, dont you understand
Hes groovy
Well the boys dont like him but the girlies do
And thats all a part of the plan
Theyre looking for a romance and they havent a chance
In the arms of fancy dan
Well fancy dan, round and round he goes
Where he stops, nobody knows
You better not leave your baby alone
When he plays come to me on his saxophone

Better Not Tell Her
(carly simon)
Better not tell her, that I was your lover
Better not make her jealous of me
Better convince her there was nothing between us
Im not those initials in your diary
But if you slip and my name comes up
Dont deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Better not tell her why you love spanish dancing
Dont bother to say that its hot in the summer in madrid
Let it all go now, like smoke from a candle
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind
But if you slip and my name comes up
Dont deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She wont need to know
That I cried when you left
That I think of you still
But if you slip and my name comes up
Dont deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She wont need to know
That Id die for your love
That I still...love...you

Guilty Partner
Listen to me
I know what Im saying
But lord it dont come easy
To admit that I was wrong
It took me far too long
I counted on you
To give me a reason
Why the sun dont shine in the season
Grey sky surrounded me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover
You once said to me
That I was a cruel man
And you know
That I almost believed you
I was blind, and I couldnt see
You took my sight from me
And all of these words
And all this emotion
Cant explain my hopeless devotion
Or change what had to be
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know that youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know that youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from another
Its no good being cool with me
cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover

Id Like To Leave If I May
How can I meet other girls when you wont let me go
My hearts still in a whirl and gee I feel so low
I dont know why I feel this way
Id like to leave if I may
I cant go to play ,you have got a hold on me
You make me work all day
Why dont you set me free
Youre on my mind almost all hours of the day
Id like to leave if I may
Its plain to see that I dont need ya anymore
Why dont you stay beside , and let me through the door
I know that in my life Ive made one big mistake
Youll only hurt me more if we dont make the break
Im telling you , so hear what I say
Id like to leave if I may
Its plain to see that I dont need ya anymore
Why dont you stay beside , and let me through the door
I know that in my life Ive made one big mistake
Youll only hurt me more if we dont make the break
