Tired of playing this game 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 And I won’t, I won’t keep up this act Not for minute I’m gonna pull, I’m gonna pull this curtain down
[Chorus:] This time I won’t play this game I made a vow to make a change 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 You’re just a stage I went through Now you’re just fading from view, yeah baby It’s time for change of scene Guess I’ll be taking my leave 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 Oh baby
[Repeat Chorus]
When you’re left standing on stage all alone Maybe you will realize You should of learned to treat me right And when this final act is finally Maybe you’ll wish you’d been The kind of man you should have been Now watch me say goodbye And walk right of your life Oh baby, all right babe.
