she said to me


,
           
   The answer

ally.

   There must 

          
be - fifty way

             
s to leave you

   
r lover."

            
   She said: "

             
It's really no

         
t my habit to 

    
intrude,
            
   Furthermore

             
 I hope my mea

              
ning won't be 

        
lost or miscon

  
strued,
              
   But I'll re

           
peat myself   

         
  at the risk 

           
of being crude

.
              
   There must 

          
be - fifty way

r lover,
         
   Fifty ways

   She said: "
