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

I’m so glad that since I was a kid (I was born in 2003) I was taught to listen to her, my parents would put me to listen to her albums. And when I have kids one day, I will do the same.

[@eduardochavacano]

it probably has samples from a Japanese classic, the melody of the chorus sounded like a Japanese karaoke classic. Madonna is not Copying. She is just Paying Tribute to Japan and Buddhism! Take A Bow is buddhism vs. her Catholic roots. The Video is about Spain and the Virgin of Guadalupe. But Take A Bow is about Buddhist teachings.

[@gerardomoreno6704]

@@eduardochavacano Hay mucho que decir sobre esta canción. La estoy evaluando desde que salió el disco, pero jamas evalué ese punto de vista. La única conexión que veo es el kimono que utilizó cuando la canto con babyface en los american music awards, y creo que ha sido la única vez que la cantó en vivo. Tu tienes algún enlace o video donde explique mas a fondo lo que planteas? Es una teoría muy interesante.

Ghosttown or those videos in 2019 could not be compared to Take A Bow, the artistry here is phenomenal.
