I Bow Out

Lyrics

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  
  
[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  
  
[Chorus: x2]
