I Bow Out
Whitney Houston

Tired of playin' this game

And I won't play it no more

And I won't take it no more, ahh

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, no


This time I won't play this game

I made a vow to make a change and

I bow out

(Huu)

(I won't be hangin' around baby)

I decline to take the pain and

I resign the masquerade and

I bow out

(Ahh)

(I won't be stayin' around baby)

I bow out

(I)

(I bow)

(Woo)


Can't go on with the show

You're just a stage I went through

Now you're just fadin' from view, yeah

It's time for a change of scene

Guess I'll be takin' 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


This time I won't play this game

(This time I won't)

I made a vow to make a change and

(I made a vow)

I bow out

(I)

(I won't be hangin' around baby)

I decline to take the pain

(I decline)

I resign the masquerade and

(Oh yeah)

I bow out

(I won't be stayin' around baby)

I bow out

(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)


When you're left standin' on that stage all alone

Maybe you'll realize

You should have 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 rightout of your life

Oh baby, alright baby


This time I won't play this game

(This time)

I made a vow to make a change and

(This time I made up my mind)

I bow out

(I)

(I bow)

(I won't be hangin' around baby)

I decline to take the pain and

(I decline boy)

I resign the masquerade and

(No masquerade)

I bow out

(Gonna bow out)

(I won't be stayin' around baby)


This time I won't play this game

I made a vow to make a change and

(Yeah ooh)

I bow out

(Said I)

(Gonna, I gonna bow out)

(Did you belive that?)

I decline to take the pain and

(Haa eee my)

I resign the masquerade and

(Haa eee you will be there)

I bow out

(Hmm)

(I won't be stayin' around baby)


This time I won't play this game

I made a vow to make a change and

(Yeah boo)

I bow out

(I)

(I bow)

(Ooh baby I bow out)

I decline to take the pain and

(I better, I bow out)

I resign the masquerade and

I bow out
