The stage is set so let the curtain rise
As for the ending my dear that's for me to decide
You may think you know the role that I play
You'll be so surprised when it's not that way
I won't play the fool anymore
This time I walk out the door
And leave you standing here all alone
This time I find on my own Someone who loves me
'Cause I, I won't play the fool anymore
No more dramatic scenes, only a short goodbye
To all the lonely nights to all the good times
I found it in my heart to love Now I must find the strength to go
Too late for happy endings Now it's time you know
It's time you know, it's time you know
I won't play the fool anymore
This time I walk out the door
This time I find on my own Someone who loves me
And leave you standing here all alone
So let me dry your eyes, it's gonna be alright
But understand me when I say
It's time that we make a change
'Cause baby one thing's for sure I won't play the fool anymore
You don't have to lie no more - try no more
