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
