Every on here doesn't know what there talking about I a black girl and I can tell you what the whole song means. Her boyfriend was cheating on her and he didn't care about cheating on her. Now that she caught him he is so sorry even though he isn't really because if she wouldn't of caught him he would of kept cheating and the reason why she said take a bow is because she know he Is faking and he is full of s*t because he was lieing through out the whole relationship. That's what it means.
