Take A Bow Lyrics

Performed by Madonna
Review The Song (29)

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)

[Chorus:]

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

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 good-bye (bye bye), say good-bye

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 good-bye

[chorus]

Say good-bye (bye bye), say good-bye
Say good-bye

Telling my story | Reviewer: Erin | 3/16/12

This song totally hits home with me... I fell in love with a man, who "took the stage" loved me and left me.. Living two seperate lives, and now a third. This song helped me get over him, because I know who I am, and he is and will always be a "lonely star"... Madonna, thank you!

It touched my heart when I heard of it | Reviewer: Nakamura Sakura | 1/14/12

Every time I heard it, it make me smile. So nice to hear when I'm think of him. It didn't bored at all. I love the song very much. Good job Maddona, it was nice song I ever hear.

I first heard this song a few months ago. I was auditioning for dance class and we had to dance to this. The piece of choreography was from a dance that was held the year before and it totally moved me. It went with the song so much, that it made me buy it off iTunes. But that wasn't enough. I had to memorize it. I say this to everyone: if there is a person who doesn't like this song I won't understand them. Unless this song was played at a funeral, there is no reason to dislike it.

Song with meaning to me | Reviewer: Robin | 11/3/11

Heard this song on the radio the other day. My marriage ended over my husband being a clown with his friends (while drinking too much) saying hurtful things and being violent. Promising time and time again that he would change....it never happened. It has definitley been "a show". I do still love him and he knows it. It's just unfortunate that sometimes people take love for granted....he will be a lonely star because no decent woman will ever want a part of that type of behavior. Perfect song for me :)

How was I to know... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/26/11

I fell in love with someone who actually deserves an award for the role that he played. This song captures this experience so perfectly. He really doesn't know who he who is. He really is an exquisite performer. And he really did break my heart. Love the way Madonna delivers this amazing song.

This song is my inspiration | Reviewer: princess Ngozi | 5/15/11

this song has a lot to do wit my story. And i want to live in it. I luv madonna for creating this luvly line that can make some men to know how stupid and selfish they can be by takin someone's luv for granted. U too good

Love it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/15/10

I love this song so much I really relate to every single word of this song. I have been living it for to long and now its time to say Good-Bye to my one true love who has been taking me for granted far too long... Thanks to this song he will know exactly how I feel.

calm | Reviewer: Smandana | 6/24/10

this is an amazing song WOW
The fisrt line says so much "take a bow the night is over" thats how i feel when i listen to the song, like wat eva is bothering me should jst take a bow because the pretense is over. the song also talks about a lover who takes you for granted. "All the world is a stage..." is a line taken from shakespear, this is a sad song but its amazing,

I bow! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/5/10

Take a bow is my favorite track that speaks the truth about lovers taking their love for granted... I love this track to the extent that i do listen to it over and over. Madona should move on to stardom! Because take a bow is an eagle among other musics...

Great Madonna | Reviewer: Jonjon | 2/19/10

Each time i listen to Madonna's song take a bow, i keep thinking about my pretty pearl whom thought me this beautiful bed time song. I'm actually listening to it now. I wish she could come back to me now...

Madonna, you remain a model. | Reviewer: Jonjon | 1/20/10

Madonna, it's tru that when you do the right thing in life, their is a reword for what ever thing you do. TAKE A BOW, is one of my fovourte bed time song. When i'm low emotionally, i listen to take a bow. One pretty friend of my once say. If she can be adopted by MADONNA, she also say, every thing about her is enjoyable?

Take a bow | Reviewer: Tony | 10/15/09

This song was written for her by none other but Baby-face (kenneth Edmond). It stayed the longest on the number 1 spot on the chats of all her greatest tracks.
'all the word is a stage where every1 has their role to play...' she quoted W. Shakespeare.
A great song indeed.

I've always been in love with you | Reviewer: Anne Glory | 8/13/09

very lovable song the best of all the Songs of Madonna i like. As if she is singing for me, all line to line it sings in my heart. Whenever i play this i feel some power of love in me and i think if my Boyfriend would take my love for granted. i really love it

Take a bow | Reviewer: kgosi | 7/7/09

Ja neh! I love the song to bits & hey, can u believe that it even touch the heart of a perpetrator. This is what I exactly did to my ex & now I'm regreting every moment. I'm like that lonely star she's talking about. A clown that always make people laugh hiding behind my smiles.
A very sad song and to all who choose to play around wasting other people precious time. shame on y'all...

Zero | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/29/09

This is a really strong song, one of the best of Madonna.

It's amazing how it turns all the enviroment like red colour...

And the way that she take's you to a trip with her voice, softly, but strongly too...

A masterpiece of all time's music.

Cheers, without a doubt she's the queen of pop.
