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 and I resign the masquerade I Bow Out [I won't be staying around baby] I Bow Out Can't 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'll be taking my leave I 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 and 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 will realise 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 This time I won't play this game [this time - this I made up my mind] 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 decline boy] I resign the masquerade and [no more sayin'] I Bow Out [I won't be staying around baby] I Bow Out This time I won't play this game I made a vow to make a change and I Bow Out [said I - gotta - I gotta bow out] I decline to take the pain and [do you believe it] I resign the masquerade and [do you hear me - do you hear me baby]
