|
[Whitney:] Um? Hey Deb.
|
[Deborah Cox:] Mmm hmm?
|
[WH:] Thank you for being woman enough to come.
|
[DC:] Whitney, what's this about?
|
|
[SUNG]
|
|
[WH:] I know he's leaving me for you.
|
[DC:] Who said that? Who told you that it's true?
|
|
[WH:]
|
What is he tellin' 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'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.
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[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!
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[DC:]
|
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.
|
|
[WH:]
|
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.
