Rihanna - Take A Bow Lyrics
[Intro]
Ohh, how about a round of applause,
Yeah, standin’ ovation,
Ooh ohh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah.
[Verse 1]
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.
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not,
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught,
But you put on quite a show (oh),
You really had me goin’,
But now it’s time to go (oh),
Curtain’s finally closin’,
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin’,
But it’s over now (but it’s over now),
Go on and take a bow, ohh ohh.
[Verse 2]
Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone),
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on (come on),
Talkin’ ’bout girl, I love you, you’re the one,
This just looks like the re-run,
Please, what else is on.
[Chorus]
And don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not (mmm),
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught (mmm),
But you put on quite a show (oh),
You really had me goin’,
But now it’s time to go (oh),
Curtain’s finally closin’,
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin’,
But it’s over now (but it’s over now),
Go on and take a bow, ohh.
[Bridge]
And the award for the best liar goes to you (goes to you),
For makin’ me believe that you could be paithful to me,
Let’s hear your speech out,
How about a round of applause,
A standin’ ovation.
[Chorus]
But you put on quite a show (oh),
You really had me goin’,
But now it’s time to go (oh),
Curtain’s finally closin’,
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin’,
But it’s over now (but it’s over now),
Go on and take a bow.
But it’s over now.

Emelina who the f**k cares…chill out, rihanna your the best. I love ur music. And karolyne…this song means that a rihanna caught her man cheating, and he wants her back but she aint taking him back. I guess you would have to go thru a situation like that to understand.

first of all emelina it is re-run but n-e way i’m sure everyone gets the big pic of the story and eveyone know what it means what she’s tring to say. Just bc the words are spelled wrong doesn’t have any effect on the song maam. The song is PERFECT.

June 5th, 2008 at 2:14 am
Rihanna this song and video is amazing. You REALLY had ME going. Your acting in the video was good and believable. I am sure that anyone who has been cheated on can appreciate this. And to those who cheat, “We gain NOTHING FROM YOU WHEN WE WERE WITH YOU, AND WE DON’T lose ANYTHING EITHER WHEN YOU CHEAT”! It’s my new favorite song from you. I give an award to the Rihanna haters.

This song was dedicated to the real women out there who have been through the same or something similar and is strong headed enough to walk away despite the love they had 4 that man.RHIANNA continue to shine girl mainly 4 the haters good luck and may god continue to bless you.
June 22nd, 2008 at 6:38 pm
The part “And the award for the best liar goes to you”…
Dooggg I can get award for that? Ahah. I should try for the gold.
Only part of the song I like, by the way.
Only for giving me the idea above.
The rest blows.
And Emos blow too.
Huge bojangles (like mine).
Adios!

Yes I agree that there are a few spelling mistakes in the lyrics but all you haters you shouldnt judge Rhianna by someone else’s mistakes.and for Falala and Jazmyn and Fiona Robbo, all you guys need to get a life instead of sitting on your butts dissing people who are making a living and suggesting people become emo.
GET A LIFE!!!!
I didnt mean to sound mean but really!!!!!
July 29th, 2008 at 7:19 am
To Emelina:
