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



[Chorus:]

I won't play the fool anymore

This time I'll walk out the door

And leave you standing here all alone

This time I'll find on my own

Someone who loves me



Cause I, I won't play the fool anymore oh no no



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



[Chorus]



So let me dry your eyes, it's gonna be all right

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...



[Chorus]



I won't play the fool anymore

I can't let you keep breaking my heart baby
