Whitney:
oh, eh Deb
Deborah:
Mmm, hmm
Whitney
Thank you for being woman enough to come
Deborah:
Whitney, what is this all about?
Whitney:
I know he's leaving me for you
Deborah:
Who said that? Who told you that its true?
Whitney:
What is he telling you?
Could it be the same things that he told me?
Deborah:
He told me that he loved me
Whitney:
I heard that
Both:
He told me I was beautiful
Deborah:
How did you know? How did you know?
Whitney:
Cuz I've played this scene before
Whitney:
This is 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, cuz this won't last
Same script, different cast
Deborah:
What you're saying could be true,
but how can I take advice from you?
Whitney:
I'm not hating, but I wish the one before me
would have warned me too babe
Deborah:
Don't say no more
la la la la la la la la la la
Whitney:
Uncover your ears, girl
Deborah:
I'm not listening
la la la la la la la la la la
Whitney:
But I know you hear me
Maybe my reasons are wrong,
but I know that you believe me
Whitney:
This is 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, cuz this won't last
Same script, different cast
Deborah:
It's your fault you didn't love him enough
Whitney:
That's the problem, I love him too much
and when you love him,
he becomes unattracted to you
Deborah:
Oh no he's changed and I'll prove you wrong
Whitney:
No you won't
Both:
So GO AWAY!
Deborah:
Leave us the hell alone
He loves me
Whitney:
He'll play you
Deborah:
He'll stay with me
Whitney:
He'll leave you
Both:
For sure, for sure
Whitney:
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, because this won't last
No, same script, different cast
Deborah:
This is is a retake of your life
You were his star for many nights
But now the roles have changed
and i'm the leading lady in his life
Lights, camera now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now, cuz this will last
I'm his future, you're his past
Whitney:
This is 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, cuz this won't last
