I Bow Out

Whitney Houston

---

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

[Chorus]
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
And 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 baby
It�s 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
Oh baby

[Chorus]

When you�re 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 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
Oh baby, all right babe

[Chorus] until fade
