Take a bow

"Take a bow" is a song written by Ne-yo and production-team Stargate for the re-release of Rihanna's third studio album “Good Girl Gone Bad”. The lyrics describe a female's viewpoint as her boyfriend is attempting to apologize after being unfaithful. She sarcastically tells him that his performance is "very entertaining", and to "take a bow" like he was performing on a stage. In my opinion, although there is a gentle tone to the lyrics, it actually conveys a tone of bitterness and even disgust. Anyway, I love it. Hope you guys enjoy it too!!!Here is the music video:

Here is the lyric:

How bout a round of applause?
Standin ovation...
Ooooh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standin' outside my house
Tryin' to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
(Please)
Just cut it out

Don't tell me you're sorry cuz you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
Really had me goin'
But now it's time to go
Curtains finally closin'
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone (You better hurry up)
Before the sprinklers come on
Talkin' bout 'Girl, I love you you're the one...
This just looks like a re-run
(Please)
What else is on?

And don't tell me you're sorry cuz you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
Really had me goin'
But now it's time to go
Curtains finally closin'
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow

And the award for the best liar goes to you
For makin' me believe
That you could be
Faithful to me
Let's hear your speech
oh...

How bout a round of applause?
Standin' ovation...

But you put on quite a show
Really had me goin'
Now it's time to go
Curtains finally closin'
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow

But it's over now...
