"TAKE A BOW"

The masquerade is getting older

Lights are low the curtains are down

(There’s no one here in the crowd)

Say your lines but do you feel them

When there’s 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

I guess you’ve always know it’s true

You took my love for granted why oh why

The show is over say good-bye

Say good-bye, say good-bye

Make them laugh it comes so easy

When you get to the part

Where you’re breaking my heart

Hide behind your smile

All the world loves a clown

(Just make’em smile the whole world loves a clown)

With you well I cannot stay

You deserve an award

For the role that you played

No more masquerade you’re one lonely star

(One lonely star and you don’t know who you are)

I guess you’ve always know it’s true

You took my love for granted why oh why

The show is over, say good-bye,

Say good-bye, say good-bye

All the world is a stage and everyone has their part

How was to know which way the story’d go

You’d break, you’d break, you’d break

You’d break my heart

I guess you’ve always know it’s true

You took my love for granted why oh why

The show is over say good-bye

Say good-bye, say good-bye
