Same Script, Different Cast

Whitney Houston And Deborah Cox

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)


[Whitney]

This is a retake of my life

I was his star for many nights

Now the roles have changed
