Lyrics:
Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Lights are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd
Say your lines, but do you feel them?
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around?
No one around
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
One lonely star, you don't know who you are
I've always been in love with you
Always with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You know it's true
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye
Bye-bye
Say goodbye
Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart
Breaking my heart
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
Just make them smile the whole world loves a clown
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played
Role that you played
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
One lonely star and you don't know who you are
I've always been in love with you
Always with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You know it's true
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye
I've always been in love with you
Always with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You know it's true
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye
Bye-bye
Say goodbye
All the world is a stage
World is a stage
And everyone has their part
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, you'd break, you'd break
You'd break my heart?
I've always been in love with you
I've always been in love with you
I guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
I've always been in love with you
Always with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You know it's true
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye
Bye-bye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

This song is heartbreakingly beautiful.....

[@busybat5287]

Whether in Relationship or not Heartbroken or not.... I 'v always loved and will continue to listen to this Masterpiece........❤❤❤

[@lindsayb1329]

One of madonna's most beautiful songs. You completely feel and relate to the heartbreak. How can a song be so sad yet so beautiful? And baby face's voice is the perfect touch. ❤

[@2quann]

Seriously babyface can write for any artist and make it a hit..”take a bow”

[@djcaarlaand]

Madonna wrote this song, Baby face just co produced it

[@Gol-cf4vg]

Storm actually they wrote It together.

[@amberhi874]

He sure can

He's also singing the background vocals

In my opinion this is the most beautiful song. The choice of babyface for the duet was also very good, unforgettable!

[@ManuelLopez-vo5qp]

Except for some lyrics “All the world loves a clown 🤡 “ I almost hide my head like an ostrich! 😅😂😄

[@jonsonjavier7465]

Babyface is one of the songwriter of the song. He is also the producer, background vocals, drum programmer, and synthesizer for the song. That's what you call talent.

[@lakeshiapinder1857]

Babyface wrote it.

[@ginasousabranco5637]

You're wrong about Madonna. You didn't saw Madonna's 2019 music videos as Batuka, Dark Ballet and God Control

[@samuelosler1994]

Also her video for Ghosttown in 2015 has a similar feel to this one

[@pedtsukonin686]

Ghosttown or those videos in 2019 could not be compared to Take A Bow, the artistry here is phenomenal. Even the production price is not comparable, record companies simply don’t invest in music videos nowadays. Not to mention Madonna is no longer the current top 10 selling artists. Resources won’t be allocated to her.

[@felipeladislau3056]

This song stayed seven weeks in #1 at Billboard Hot 100, between february and april 1995. It's her longest-running single at #1, and one of most beautiful songs of her legendary discography ❤

[@trecchannel4205]

Oh,my Lord. Those strings at the end killed me when I first heard this. I still get chills 30 years later. Nellee Hooper doesn’t get near enough credit for that and he should.

[@michelleobi9046]

Madonna's best songs in my opinion are her ballards. This is one is my fave. Her voice is amazing on this track.

[@ginasousabranco5637]

Her ballads showcase her best work in terms of emotional expression, melancholy tone, melodic rhythm, soul searching lyrics...so when these elements were put together into a song, the best outcome ever!!!

[@pandorasbox6607]

[@MegaPopfly]

Yes I totally agree. This song and Live To Tell are my faves. 80s rule!!

[@ReysBoomBoomRoom11]

Babyface truly is a MASTERFUL songwriter and producer. This song is a wonder-work, practically perfect.

[@ginasousabranco5637]

Madonna co-wrote and co-produced this track and many many others

[@dariostankewitz5565]

They both wrote and produced it, so not only is the author Babyface, first appears her name "Madonna" from the song's credits; So Madonna also takes credit for this issue, not only babyface and I know it because I have it on the album.

[@cowboystyle4513]

Put together Babyface & synthesizer and You get a classic

[@darricklucero1161]

Your right

[@darricklucero1161]

Ots a perfect song. Watch the music awards live performance, they are both on a PODIUM, unreal

[@BK-uf6qr]

This video is haunting. Such a great song. She has changed so much it makes me sad. I wish she would take a bow for her excellent career.

[@Vegasbay80]

All I can say about this song is MASTERPIECE

[@natedoggg2002]

Take a Bow is Madonna's Greatest Masterpiece in my opinion!

[@todayyesterday]

‘Take A Bow’ remains Madonna’s longest staying song at the American Number One. Very good co-writing and production by Kenneth Edmonds.

[@nternetrat]

bruh my mom was literally in the studio while madonna recorded this, Music Grinder studios madonna kept getting calls and my mom told her every time when someone was calling. she got an autograph ("to angela love, madonna") and still has the sheet of lyrics madonna was reading off of for the recording (madonna had cut and taped the lyrics together) I just think that's so cool.

[@bluedragonfire4960]

Lucky! Was Madonna nice?

[@nternetrat]

@@bluedragonfire4960 yeah! my mom says she was very nice ("and drove a black mercedes" lmao)

[@lunth270]

thats so cool

[@JenX_1973]

I would have fainted! I am 47 years old, and was in college when this song and album came out. I worked at a record store during college, and I played this CD from beginning to end during my shifts! I loved Madonna ever since her debut album, and bought every single album she released, until "Music," and then she just started losing her touch. But, if I was in the same studio as her when she was recording this album, I would totally be stalking her, waiting to ask for an autograph and picture with her!

[@nternetrat]
