About

by Madonna


Take a bow
The night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Lights are low
The curtains are down
There's no one here
(There's no one here in the crowd)

Say your lines
But do you feel them
Do you mean what you say
When there's no one around
Watching you, watching me
One lonely star
(One lonely star you don't know whom you are)

I've always been in love with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over. Say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye

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)

Wish you well
I can not stay
You deserve an award
For the role that you played
No more masquerade
You're one lonely star
(One lonely star you don't know who you are)

All the world is a stage
And everyone 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 my heart
