Tired of playing this game
And I wont play it no more
And I wont take it no more
Through with being your fool
And I wont do it no more
And I wont, I wont keep up this act
Not for one minute
Im gonna pull, Im gonna pull this curtain down

[Chorus:]
This time I wont play this game
I made a vow to make a change
And I bow out
I wont be hanging around, baby
I decline to take the pain
And I resign the masquerade
And I bow out
I wont be staying around, baby
I bow out

Cant go on with the show
Youre just a stage I went through
Now youre just fading from view, yeah baby
Its time for a change of scene
Guess Ill be taking my leave
I guess I wont, I wont stay in this play
Not for one minute
Im gonna make, Im gonna make my exit now
Oh baby

[Repeat Chorus]

When youre 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 youll wish youd 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

[Repeat Chorus until fade]
