Lyrics
[Whitney:] Um? Hey Deb.
[Deborah Cox:] Mmm hmm?
[WH:] Thank you for being woman enough to come.
[DC:] Whitney, what&9s this about?
[SUNG]
[WH:] I know he&9s leaving me for you.
[DC:] Who said that? Who told you that it&9s true?
[WH:]
What is he tellin&9 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.
[CHORUS:]
This is a retake of my life.
I was his star for many nights.
Now the roles have changed,
And you&9re the leading lady in his life.
Lights, camera, now you&9re on.
Just remember you&9ve been warned.
Enjoy it now, &9cause it won&9t last.
Same script, different cast.
[DC:]
What you&9re saying could be true.
But how can I take advice from you?
[WH:]
I&9m not hating,
But I wish the one before me
Would have warned me too babe.
[DC:] Don&9t say no more. La La La La La La La La La
[WH:] Uncover your ears, girl.
[DC:] I&9m 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.
[CHORUS]
[DC] It&9s your fault you didn&9t love him enough.
[WH:]
That&9s the problem.
I loved him too much.
And when you love him
He becomes unattracted to you.
[DC:] Oh no, he&9s changed and I&9ll prove you wrong.
[WH:] No you won&9t.
[DC:] So go away. Leave us the hell alone! He loves me.
[WH:] He&9ll hurt you.
[DC:] He&9ll stay with me.
[WH:] He&9ll leave you.
[WH and DC:] For sure! For sure!
[CHORUS]
[DC:]
This is a retake of my life.
You were his star for many nights.
But now the roles have changed.
I&9m the leading lady in his life.
Lights, camera, now you&9re on.
Just remember you&9ve been warned.
Enjoy it now, &9cause this will last.
I&9m the future, you&9re his past.
[WH:]
This is a retake of my life.
I was his star for many nights.
Now the roles have changed,
And you&9re the leading lady in his life.
[WH and DC:]
Lights, camera, now you&9re on.
Just remember you&9ve been warned.
[WH:] Enjoy it now.
[DC:] Enjoy just now.
[WH:] It won&9t last.
[DC:] I know it will last.
[WH and DC:] Same script, different cast.
