The Way It Used To Be
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
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, 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

Problem Child
I'm in a problem, can't find a solution
Problem, give me the solution,Problem, I'm causing confusion, Problem
Energy pushing in my blood,I could kill myself but I haven't got the guts,Oh no
Well it's a Saturday night,I got nothin' to lose,
I'm all out of money,I'm all out of booze
I'm walking down the street, I'm in the need of blues
Problem child, and I'm wild, I'm in the need to break all the rules
I'm in a problem, problem, problem, problem , problem, problem, problem child, yeah
