There must be 10 ways to leave your man
Don't be broken-hearted
There are many ways to leave your man
Leave your man
Leave your man
Leave your man
You gotta be cheerful-hearted
There's at least 15 ways to leave your man
Get a flat and a magazine
Get your body ahead and out of that scene
Don't be disconcerted
There must be 15 ways to leave your man
Soon you will discover
You are no longer undercover
Break, now
Fly direct to Post Office box
You'll get a dallying notion
But you will soon recover
No longer undercover
Branch out into complete disorder
You gotta be cheerful-hearted
There's at least 15 ways to leave your man
Get a flat and a magazine
Get your body ahead and out of that scene
But don't be disconcerted
There are 8 ways to keep your man
Don't be down-hearted
There are 15 ways to leave your man
There are 16 ways
To leave your man
Leave your man
Leave your man
