I Bow Out lyrics

Written by dianne warren (1998)Performed by whitney houstonI’m tired of playing this gameAnd I won’t play it no moreAnd I won’t take it no moreThrough with being your foolAnd I won’t do it no moreAnd I won’t, I won’t keep up this actNot for one minuteI’m gonna pull, I’m gonna pull this curtain downThis time I won’t play this gameI made a vow to make a change andI bow out (I won’t be hanging around baby)I decline to take the painI resign the masquerade andI bow out (I won’t be staying around baby)I bow outCan’t go on with the showYou’re just a stage I went throughNow you’re just fading from view - yeahTime for a change of sceneGuess I’ll be taking my leaveI guess I won’t, I won’t stay in this playNot for one minuteI’m gonna make, I’m gonna make my exit nowHookWhen you’re left standing on that stage all aloneMaybe you will realizeYou should have learned to treat me rightAnd when this final act is finally throughMaybe you’ll wish you’d beenThe kind of man you should have beenNow watch me say goodbye and walk right out of your lifeHook 3 times
