Lyrics: Same Script, Different Cast (with Deborah Cox)

Whitney: Um, hey, Deb…
Deborah: Mmmmmm hmmmmm….?
Whitney: Thank you for being woman enough to come
Deborah: Whitney, what's this about?

Whitney: I know he's leaving me for you
Deborah: Who said that, who told you?
Both: That is true
Whitney: What is he telling you
Whitney: Could it be the same things that he told me?
Deborah: He told me that he loved me
Whitney: I heard that
Deborah: He told me I was beautiful
Whitney: Huh
Deborah: How did you know? How did you know?
Whitney: Because I played this scene before

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

Deborah: What you're saying could be true
Deborah: But how can I take advice from you?
Whitney: I'm not hating
Whitney: But I wish the one before me
Whitney: would have warned me too baby
Deborah: Don't say no more - lalalalalalala
Whitney: Uncover your ears, girl
Deborah: I'm not listening - lalalalalalalala
Whitney: But I know you hear me
Whitney: Maybe my reasons are wrong
Whitney: But I know that you believe me

Whitney: This is a retake of my life
Whitney: I was his star for many nights

Whitney: Just remember you've been warned
Whitney: Enjoy it now, cause it won't last
Whitney: Same script, different cast

Deborah: It's your fault you didn't love him enough
Whitney: That's the problem, I loved him too much
Whitney: And when you love him he becomes unattracted to you
Deborah: Oh, no - he's changing now, I'll prove you wrong
Whitney: No, you won't
Deborah: So go away - leave us the hell alone!
Deborah: See, he loves me
Whitney: He'll hurt you
Deborah: He'll stay with me
Whitney: He'll leave you
Both: For sure, For sure
