I tired of playing this game
And I won£s play it no more
And I won£s take it no more
Through with being your fool
And I won£s do it no more
And I won£s, I won£s keep up this act
Not for one minute
I£l gonna pull, i£l gonna pull this curtain down

This time I won£s play this game
I made a vow to make a change and
I bow out (I won£s be hanging around baby)
I decline to take the pain
I resign the masquerade
I bow out (I won£s be staying around baby)
I bow out

Can£s go on with the show
Your just a stage I went through
Now your just fading from view. yeah!
Time for a change of scene
Guess i£kl be taking my leave
I guess I won£s, I won£s stay in this play
Not for one minute
I gonna make, I wanna make my exit now

This time I won£s play this game
I made a vow to make a change and
I bow out (I won£s be hanging around baby)
I decline to take the pain
I resign the masquerade and
I bow out (I won£s be staying around baby)
I bow out

When your left standing on that stage all alone
Maybe you£kl realize
You should have learned to treat me right
And when this final act is finally through
Maybe you£kl wish you£c been
The kind of man you should have been
Now watch me say goodbye and walk rightout of your life

Instrumental break
