Oh, how about a round of applause
Yeah, standin' ovation
Oh oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
You look so dumb right now
Standing' outside my house
Trying' to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
Oh... [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/rihanna/take_a_bow.html ]
Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on
Talkin' about, girl, I love you, you're the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on (oh)
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
Oh, and the award for the best liar goes to you
For making me believe that you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech out
How about a round of applause
A standin' ovation
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
Now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
Self-respect! It's basically all about it. Finding out that you have been made a fool is not the end of the world, but allowing yourself to be fooled over and over is! You should always remember that you are special and if that person you are with, cannot see nor appreciate your love, do not ever allow yourself to be humiliated by publicly being made a fool! It damn hurts, yes, but giving importance to yourself brings you to the path where you'll meet that one person, not to complete you, but complement your 'importance' thus creating another show, but this time, none from you both has to "take a bow".
"take a bow" means to get praise for a successful performance (on stage) but here it's used sarcastically to congratulate her bf on his cheating:p she doesn't want to continue that relationship because once somebody has cheated on you he should never be trusted anymore. It makes me laugh and at the same time think how sad it is to be fooled by somebody u love...
Pretty sure ii love this song , mostly bcuz ive been in the same situation .. More than once .. Alot of people seem to not reali know what the songs about though , so .. Its about her bf cheating on her and she finds out and , basically , tells him off and hes all "im so sorry dont leave me" and whatever pretendin like he still loves her and whatnot , and when she tells him to take a bow its bcuz he was acting like he loved her when reali he was jus cheatin on her the whole time .. Thts my interpretation anyway .. : )
and ps; ii love rihanna : )
Shit!!! *** sorry for the word... But i think
there must be that word here in this song... You know why? Its simply bcoz it's all about these people who haven't
done anything on you but to give you a
life of lie!!!.. It's actually compared to an actor
playing this very good role but you didn't know,
when he's on backstage.. He'll maybe described as
the ? Devilest? Ever person living in this world!!!
I experienced it.. That's why im acting like this... He..

You and a guy were in love but you kept fighting and you gave so many chances. You're saying,"it's over! Take a bow because our performance together is done! "

Take a bow is about more then just being upset about being cheated on. It's about still being in live with the person who tore your heart out, and then made you watch them break it over and over again.. .

I am suggest this song by my friend to forget my mantan. We're couple just for 2 days, and after 8 months pass, i still can't forget him but he's now already happy with his new life. Huhu. Oh btw, do you know what mantan is ? Heheh. Go search on google yaww. Sorry for my horrible english. :)
You thought you had me fooled but you don't. The game is over now and it's time for you to go. You didn't really love me and were just pretending so now i'm through with you.
