I Bow Out lyrics

Written by dianne warren (1998)

I`m 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 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
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

Hook

When you`re left standing on that stage all alone
Maybe you will 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

Hook 3 times
