Take A Bow

[Verse 1: Madonna, Babyface]

Take a bow, the night is over

This masquerade is getting older

Lights 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)

[Chorus: Madonna, Babyface, Both]

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 good-bye

Say good-bye (Bye-bye)

Say good-bye

[Verse 2: Madonna, Babyface]

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 them 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: Madonna, Babyface, Both]

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 good-bye

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 good-bye

Say good-bye (Bye-bye)

Say good-bye

[Bridge: Madonna, Babyface]

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?

[Chorus: Madonna, Babyface, Both]

I've always been in love with you

(I've always been in love with you)

I guess you've always known

You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?

The show is over, say good-bye

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 good-bye

Say good-bye (Bye-bye)

Say good-bye

[Outro: Madonna]

Say good-bye
