Babyface - I Bow Out lyrics

Written by dianne warren (1998) Performed by whitney houston 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
