Whitney: Um, hey, Deb
Deborah: Mmm hmm?
Whitney: Thank you for being woman enough to come
Deborah: Whitney, what's this about?

Whitney: I know he's leaving me for you
Deborah: Who said that, who told you?
Both: That is 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
Deborah: He told me I was
Both: Beautiful
Deborah: How did you know? How did you know?
Whitney: Because I played this 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: 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 - lalalalalalala
Whitney: Uncover your ears, girl
Deborah: I'm not listening - lalalalalalalala
Whitney: But I know you hear me
Maybe my reasons are wrong
But I know that you believe me

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: It's your fault you didn't love him enough
Whitney: That's the problem, I loved him too much
And when you love him, he becomes unattracted to you
Deborah: Oh no, he's changing now, I'll prove you wrong
Whitney: No, you won't
Deborah: So go away, leave us the hell alone!
See, he loves me
Whitney: He'll hurt you
Deborah: He'll stay with me
Whitney: He'll leave you
Both: For sure, for sure

Whitney: Lights, camera, now you're on

Whitney: You've been warned
Whitney: Enjoy it now, because it won't last
Whitney: No! Same script,different cast

Deborah:
This is a retake of your life
You were his star for many nights
But now the roles have changed

I'm his future, you're his past
