[SPOKEN]

[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.
