Take a Bow

written by babyface and madonna
time: 5: 21
take a bow the night is over
this masquerade is getting older
light are low the curtains down
there's no one here
[there's no one here there's no one in the crowd
say your lines but do you feel them
do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around
watching you watching me one lonely star
[one lonely star you don't know who you are

i've always been in love with you [always with you
i guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true
you took my love for granted why oh why
the show is over say goodbye
say goodbye [bye bye
] say goodbye
make them laugh it comes so easy
when you get to the part
where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart
hide behind your smile all the world loves a clown
[just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown
wish you well i cannot stay
you deserve an award for the role
that you played [role that you played
no more masquerade you're one lonely star
[one lonely star and you don't know who you are
(chorus repeat)
say goodbye [bye bye
] say goodbye
all the world is a stage [world is a stage
and everyone has their part [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
[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
say goodbye [bye bye
] say goodbye
say goodbye
