[Whitney](Deborah)
|
Oh, hey, Deb
|
(Hmm-hmm)
|
Thank you for being woman enough to come
|
(Whitney, what's this about?)
|
|
I know he's leaving me for you
|
(Who said that, who told you?)
|
That is true
|
What is he telling you?
|
Could it be the same things that he told me?
|
(He told me that he loved me)
|
I heard that
|
(He told me I was beautiful)
|
Uh-huh
|
(How did you know? How did you know?)
|
Because I played the scene before
|
|
[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 cause it won't last
|
Same script, different cast
|
|
[Deborah](Whitney)
|
What you're saying could be true
|
But how can I take advice from you?
|
(I'm not hating)
|
(But I wish the one before me would have warned me too babe)
|
Don't say no more, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
|
(Uncover your ears, girl)
|
I'm not listening, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
|
(But I know you hear me)
|
(Maybe my reasons are wrong)
|
(But I know that you believe me)
|
|

[Deborah](Whitney)
|
It's your fault you didn't love him enough
|
(That's the problem, I loved him too much)
|
(And when you love him he becomes unattracted to you)
|
Oh no, he's changed and I'll prove you wrong
|
(No, you won't)
|
So go away leave us the hell alone
|
See, he loves me
|
(He'll hurt you)
|
He'll stay with me
|
(He'll leave you)
|
For sure, for sure, oh
|
|

Now, now, now, now, now, no, no
|
Now the roles have changed
|
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, because it won't last
|
No, same script, different cast
