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...
