I Bow Out

Lyrics

I'm tired of playing this game
 And I won't play it no more
 And I won't take it no more
 Uh, 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, oh
 This time I won't play this game
 I made a vow to make a change and
 I (mm)
 Bow out (I won't be hangin' 'round baby)
 I decline to take the pain and
 I resign the masquerade and
 I (I)
 Bow out (I won't be stayin' 'round, baby)
 I (I)
 Bow (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-yeah, babe
 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
 This time I won't play this game (this time I won't)
 I made a vow to make a change and (I made a vow)
 I (I)
 Bow out (I won't be hangin' around baby)
 I decline to take the pain (I decline)
 I resign the masquerade and (oh yeah)
 I bow out (I won't be stayin' around baby)
 I (oh)
 Bow (ooh)
 Out (out)
 When you're left standin' on that stage all alone
 Maybe you will realize
 You should've learned to treat me right
 And when this final act is finally through
 Maybe you'll have wished you'd been
 The kind of man you should have been
 Now watch me say goodbye
 And walk right out of your life
 Ooh, baby
 Alright, baby
 ♪
 This time I won't play this game (this time)
 I made a vow to make a change and (this time I made up my mind)
 I (I)
 Bow (I bow)
 Out (I won't be hangin' 'round, baby)
 I decline to take the pain and (I decline boy)
 I resign the masquerade and (no more, said I)
 I bow (gonna bow out)
 Out (I won't be stayin' 'round, baby)
 This time I won't play this game
 I made a vow to make a change and
 I (said I)
 Bow (gotta)
 Out (I gotta bow out)
 (Do you believe me?) I decline to take the pain and
 (I say, can you hear me?) I resign the masquerade and
 (Do you hear baby girl?) I bow (mm)
 Out (I won't be stayin' around baby)
 This time I won't play this game
 I made a vow to make a change and
 I (I)
 Bow (bow)
 Out (ooh, baby, I bow out)
 I decline to take the pain and (I said I bow out)
 I resign the masquerade and
 I bow out
