Dernière piste de l’album BedtimeStories, cette chanson de Babyface est choisie par madonna comme 2nd single. Dans une ambiance asiatique et tropicale, ce titre envoute ! Et c’est un magnifique succès outre-manche, le titre se classant n°1 et restant 7 semaines au Billboard Hot 100 ! Cette chanson est d’ailleurs celle qui s’est le mieux vendue en 1995 !
Le clip vidéo dirigé par Michael Haussman a été tourné dans la ville pittoresque de Ronda en Espagne. Une émission spéciale à d’ailleurs été consacrée, sur la chaîne musicale Mtv, au tournage du clip. Elle dépeint une histoire d’amour avec un toréro (interprété par Emilio Muñoz). Si son image est moins insolente et plus sage, malgré un peu de corps dénudé et en lingerie dans le clip, Madonna n’échappe pas à la controverse cette fois avec les défenseurs des droits des animaux qui l’accusent de glorifier la tauromachie !

Paroles
Take a bow The night is over This masquerade is getting older
Light 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 (why oh why)
The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (bye bye) Say good-bye
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 ’em 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 (why oh why)
The show is over, say good-bye
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 (why oh why)
The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (bye bye) Say good-bye
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)
Guess you’ve always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why (why oh why)
The show is over, say good-bye
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 (why oh why)
The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (bye bye) Say good-bye
Say good-bye
