Tired of playing this game
|
And I won't play it no more
|
And I won't take it no more
|
Through with being your fool
|
And I won't do it no more
|
And I won't, I won't keep up this act
|
Not for one minute
|
I'm gonna pull, I'm gonna pull this curtain down
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
This time I won't play this game
|
I made a vow to make a change
|
And I bow out
|
I won't be hanging around, baby
|
I decline to take the pain
|
And I resign the masquerade
|
And I bow out
|
I won't be staying around, baby
|
I bow out
|
|
Can't go on with the show
|
You're just a stage I went through
|
Now you're just fading from view, yeah baby
|
It's time for a change of scene
|
Guess I'll be taking my leave
|
I guess I won't, I won't stay in this play
|
Not for one minute
|
I'm gonna make, I'm gonna make my exit now
|
Oh baby
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
When you're left standing on that stage all alone
|
Maybe you will realize
|
You should of learned to treat me right
|
And when this final act is finally through
|
Maybe you'll wish you'd been
|
The kind of man you should have been
|
Now watch me say goodbye
|
And walk right out of your life
|
Oh baby, all right babe
|
|
[Repeat Chorus until fade]
|
