Same Script, Different Cast Songtext
von Whitney Houston

Umm, hey Deb
Mm 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
How did you know? How did you know?
′Cause I played that scene before

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

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
Uncover your ears, girl
I'm not listening, 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

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


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

This is a retake of my life
I was his star for many nights
Now the roles have changed
Now, now, now, now, now, no, no
Now the roles 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

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

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
Enjoy this now
It won't last
I know it will last
Same script, different cast, oh
