《Take a Bow》是麦当娜的一首流行歌曲，词曲由麦当娜、Babyface合作编写。该歌曲作为推广专辑的第二支单曲，于1994年12月6日通过Sire唱片公司发行 ，后被收录在歌手的第六张专辑《Bedtime Stories》。
《Take a Bow》于1995年2月25日拿下公告牌百强单曲榜第一名，并因此成为麦当娜在该榜上的第11支冠军单曲，以及该歌手在公告牌百强单曲榜夺冠周数最多的单曲 。而在其它地区，该歌曲则打入瑞士、新西兰、意大利这三个地区的音乐排行榜前十 。1995年9月，《Take a Bow》获得由MTV音乐录影带奖授予的“最佳女性视频”奖项 。
该歌曲创作于Babyface建在比佛利山庄的一间小工作室，歌曲的创作工作由两人分共完成：歌曲歌词由麦当娜构思撰写，音乐和弦与内部节奏由Babyface编制。在创作过程中，Babyface只创作了一段音乐后便想不出下一段了，因为他没有具体的创作方向。于是，他便将自己构思出的这段音乐放给麦当娜听。麦当娜听后，便为Babyface设定了另一种创作思路 。
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
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)
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
The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye (bye bye),
say good-bye Say good-bye
