[Whitney:] Um? Hey Deb?
[Deborah Cox:] Mmm hmm?
[WH:] Thank you for being woman enough to come
[DC:] Whitney, what's this about?

[WH:] I know he's leaving me for you
[DC:] Who said that? Who told you that it's true?

[WH:]
What is he telling you?
Could it be the same things that he told me?

[DC:] He told me that he loved me
[WH:] I heard that
[DC:] He told me I was (harmony) beautiful
How did you know? How did you know?
[WH:] Because I played that scene before

This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
Now the roles have changed
And you're the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera, now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now, 'cause it won't last
Same script, different cast

[DC:]
What you're saying could be true
But how can I take advice from you?

[WH:]
I'm not hating
But I wish the one before me would have warned me too, babe

[DC:] Don't say no more. La la la la la la la la la
[WH:] Uncover your ears, girl
[DC:] I'm not listening. La la la la la la la la la

[WH:]
But I know you hear me
Maybe my reasons are wrong
But I know that you believe me

This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
Now the roles have changed
And you're the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera, now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now, 'cause it won't last
Same script, different cast

[DC] It's your fault you didn't love him enough

[WH:]
That's the problem
I loved him too much
And when you love him
He becomes unattracted to you

[DC:] Oh no, he's changed and I'll prove you wrong
[WH:] No you won't
[DC:] So go away. Leave us the hell alone! He loves me
[WH:] He'll hurt you
[DC:] He'll stay with me
[WH:] He'll leave you
[WH and DC:] For sure! For sure!

This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
Now the roles have changed
And you're the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera, now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now, 'cause it won't last
Same script, different cast

This is a retake of my life
You were his star for many nights
But now the roles have changed
I'm the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera, now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now, 'cause this will last
I'm the future, you're his past

This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
Now the roles have changed
And you're the leading lady in his life

[WH and DC:]
Lights, camera, now you're on
Just remember you've been warned

[WH:] Enjoy it now
[DC:] Enjoy just now
[WH:] It won't last
[DC:] I know it will last
[WH and DC:] Same script, different cast
