Take A Bow

Madonna · Celebration [2009]

Take a bow, the night is over

This masquerade is getting older

Lights are low, the curtain's down

There's no one here



Say your lines, but do you feel them?

Do you mean what you say

When there's no one around?

Watchin' you, watchin' me

One lonely star



[Chorus]

I've always been in love with you

I guess you've always known it's true

You took my love for granted

Why, oh why?

The show is over, say goodbye

Say goodbye, say goodbye



Make them laugh, it comes so easy

When you get to the part

Where you're breakin' my heart

Hide behind your smile

All the world loves a clown



Wish you well, I cannot stay

You deserve an award for the role that you play

No more masquerade

You're one lonely star



[Chorus x2]



All the world is a stage

And everyone has their part

But how was I to know which way the story'd go?

How was I to know you'd break

(you'd break, you'd break, you'd break)

You'd break my heart?



I've always been in love with you

Guess you've always known

You took my love for granted

Why, oh why?

The show is over, say goodbye



[Chorus]



Say goodbye
