Bad Lyrics: "Same Script, Different Cast" - Cox and Houston

I like "fight over someone" songs. Like...

* McCartney & Jackson's "The Girl Is Mine"

* Carnes & Streisand's "Make No Mistake He's Mine"

And I like Whitney Houston and Deborah Cox's "Same Script, Different Cast." Whitney is the Current Girlfriend, and Deborah Cox is the mistress, and Whitney is warning her about the man who's about to leave Whit for Deb. And the point is, Deborah is getting all shocked to hear that the same things her man has told her, he told Whitney too. (Same script, different cast - get it? Good title.)

What sorts of things is the dog saying to Deborah that he has also told Whitney? "You are the only woman in my life" ? Or "Before you my life was nothing" or "I've never felt this way with another woman"?
Deb - He told me that he loved me.
Whit - I heard that.
Deb - He told me I was
Whit - Beautiful.
Deb - Beautiful. How did you know? How did you know?
Whit - Because I played that scene before.

"Oh my GOD. He told you you're BEAUTIFUL??!!" "Yes, and he tells his mother and sisters too!" "THE DAWG!"

Bad lyrics. And I can't listen to bad lyrics in the background--the lyrics catch my attention every time, which is horrible. However, I forgive this songwriter because of these lines:


Deb - Don't say no more. La La La La La La La La La
Whit - Uncover your ears, girl!
Deb - I'm not listening. La La La La La La La La La

Heh heh heh.
