Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, hey, Deb
Mmm-hmm
Thank you for being woman enough to come
Whitney, what's this about?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I've heard that
He told me I was beautiful
Uh-huh
How did you know?
How did you know?
'Cause I played that scene before
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Lights, camera, now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now 'cause it won't last
Same script, different cast
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Don't say no more
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Uncover you ears, girl
I'm not listening
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
I know you hear me
[Verse 8]
Maybe my reasons are wrong
But I know that you believe me
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Lights, camera, now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now 'cause it won't last
Same script, different cast
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
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
[Verse 13]
This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
Now the roles have changed
And I'm the leading lady in his life
[Verse 14]
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
[Verse 15]
This is a retake of your life
You were his star for many nights
But now the roles have changed
I'm the leading lady in his life
[Verse 16]
Lights, camera, now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now 'cause this will last
I am the future, you're his past
[Verse 17]
This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
But now the roles have changed
And you're the leading lady in his life
[Verse 18]
Lights, camera, now you're on
Just remember you've been warned
Enjoy it now, it won't last
I know it will last
Same script, different cast
