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 is 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

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

You don't have to lie no more - try no more

'Cause baby one thing's for sure...

I Won't Play the Fool anymore...
