I 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


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

I resign the masquerade

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!

Time for a change of scene

Guess I’ll be taking my leaveI guess

I won’t, I won’t stay in this play

Not for one minute

I gonna make, I wanna make my exit now


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

I resign the masquerade and

I Bow Out (I won’t be staying around baby)

I Bow Out


When your left standing on that stage all alone

Maybe you’ll realize

You should have 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
