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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus x3]
