I never saw the mornin’ ’til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine ’til you turned out the light
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody until I needed the song

I never saw the white line ’til I was leavin’ you behind
I never knew I needed you until I was caught up in a bind
I never spoke “I love you” ’til I cursed you in vain
I never felt my heart strings until I nearly went insane

I never saw the east coast until I moved to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off of your breast
I never saw your heart until someone tried to steal it, tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face

I never saw the mornin’ ’til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine ’til you turned out your love light babe
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody until I needed the song

Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland,
Went on all the rides, didn’t have to wait in line.
I drove you to your house where we stared up at the stars
I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms.

We hung out at the rainbow where we drank til’ half past two.
Nothing could go wrong anytime that I’m with you.
Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss
Or searching for a high school that you know doesn’t exist…

These are the things that make me free
I feel like I’m stuck in “stand by me”
This night was too good to be true.

Today I woke up alone wishing you were here with me,
I wanted us to be something that we’d probably never be.
Today you called me up and said you’d see me at our show,
But now I’m stuck debating if I even wanna go.

Whitney, don’t you understand that what I say is true?
I just want you to know I have a major crush on you.
I’d drive you to Las Vegas and do the things you wanna do
I’d even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you.

I only wish that this could be
Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me
I swear I’d treat you like a queen.

Yeah

Turn around take a look at my life
I’m a lot like you are
Try to hide from yesterday
Still the pain never went away
Could it be, history
All the time just repeatin’ on me?
Thought that I could break the chains,
The tears and pain, but here I go again

Over and over
On and on
Keep on singing that same old song you know
Is that the way the story goes?
(Same old story)
Hey
(Over and over)
Round and round
This world keeps turing me inside out you know
Is that the way the story goes?
(Same old story)
C’mon

Turn around take a look at your life
Thinkin that you’re living right
Judging only on what you see
Just reflections of your misery
All the shame, from all the names
Build the walls when we’re all the same
You think you got an alibi, but it’s a lie
Don’t even try

Over and over
On and on
Keep on singing that same old song you know
Is that the way the story goes?
(Same old story)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Over and over)
Round and round
This world keeps turing me inside out you know
Is that the way the story goes?
(Same old story)

And you don’t know baby
How you’re gonna survive
In these troubled times
But if you seek than you shall find
Yeah

I say
Sing it with me y’all

Over and over
On and on
Keep on singing that same old song you know
Is that the way the story goes?
(Same old story)
Yeah
(Over and over)
Round and round
This world keeps turing me inside out you know
Is that the way the story goes?
(Same old story)

Na na na

You had love for me
You said that you’d give me everything
What’s happening?
How could you lie how could you be so trifflin’
What’s going on?
Coz I thought that you where the only one
Don’t even waste my time, oh ho

It was a shock to see
Telling me lies disgusted me
You wasn’t right for me
I’ve had enough of your lies trying to talk to me
Are you outta mind
Do you think i’ll mind
Don’t even waste my time

Chorus
I don’t wanna hear “I’m sorry”
Don’t wanna hear the same old story
Whatever it ain’t my problem
You ain’t gonna waste my time
Baby can’t you see that I
Don’t need you in my life
Please can you see the sign
You ain’t gonna waste my time

You’ve been running games behind my back
Don’t you relise I won’t take that
Baby this is where you get of
I’m moving in onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Telling me the same old story
Everyday the same old story
Why you talking big for me
You ain’t gonna waste my time
(Can you see the signs)
Baby can you see that I
Don’t need you in my life
Can you see the signs
You ain’t gonna waste my time

Chorus
I don’t wanna hear “I’m sorry”
Don’t wanna hear the same old story
Whatever it ain’t my problem
You ain’t gonna waste my time
Baby can’t you see that I
Don’t need you in my life
Please can you see the sign
You ain’t gonna waste my time

Same old story
Same old story
Ain’t my problem

Yeah, yeah

it’s patience trying when you tell me how to live well you don’t know anything your expectations are wearing thin you won’t even take a look to see another way you aren’t even listeing take your ideals and go away i’m cut from the same mold i don’t read from the same old story i’m not cut fromthe same mold don’t know who you think i should be i’m not cut from the same mold i don’t read from the same old story i’m not cut from the same mold done with yours i’m living life for me tell me father, did i turn out so bad didn’t i look up to you took every piece of advice you had go to school get a job send me on your way you aren’t even listening take your dreams and go away for so longi have tried to understand the qualities you thought made up a real man now it’s time for me to find out for myself i’m getting fed up i don’t need your help you never listen to both sides of the story you never listen you won’t listen to me

Each night you show up about a quarter to two
And in my dreams you always come true
And for awhile it’s just like old times
But before I know it you say goodbye

But I’ll meet you same place, same time
I’ll be waitin’ at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, I’ll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday

I’ve learned to face and live with the fact
That in real life you’re not coming back
Guess I’ll never know why you said goodbye
My only consolation is I know that I

Will meet you same place, same time
I’ll be waitin’ at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, I’ll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday
Same place, same time
I’ll be waitin’ at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, I’ll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday

I don’t wanna be alone
Yo I’ll be there
Same place same time
I can’t stand being without you

As we lay face to face
Sharing love in a temporary place
I got a girl you got a man
If they found out

I’m sure they wouldn’t understand
See I can’t keep myself from wanting you
You see I wanna lay with you
I wanna play with you I wanna stay with you

Chorus
Don’t ask me how I can’t say why
Why we’re here you and I
At the same place at the same time

Don’t stop now don’t let it end
Girl we must do it again
In the same way at the same time

I want my cake eat it too
Making love to her
I wish I’m making love to you
So here we are we know it’s wrong

Each moment without you
Baby is too damn long
There’s no time to be wasting baby
So let’s slip away to our favorite place

Chorus

Make sure you got your pumps on
When you come baby come along
I swear I’m gonna keep it hot
Come on give me all you got
it’s our secret

Keeping it a secret nobody has to know
The things that we do or the places we go
You know what time of evening

You know just where we meet
It ain’t nobody’s business
We’re keeping it discreet

chorus

Fade

[Whitney](Deborah)
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
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)
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

[Whitney]
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
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

[Deborah]
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

[Both]
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
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

I can still remember the time you were there
When I needed to hold you, feel you
Everytime I ask you to find a new way
You lie a new way
Is it gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

You’ll change
You’ll never change
You’re never never gonna keep your promises x 2

You said you’d change
But I’m afraid
It’s something I won’t live to see
It’s seems so strange
That sometimes fate
Can appear to be so real
And yet turn out to be a fantasy

Same old line, one more time
Say you’re gonna be, there for me
Say you’ll change, change your ways
Never gonna keep your promises
Same old game ( Ben – You know it doesn’t turn me on)
Brand new day (Ben – You’re singing that same old song)
No more lies (Ben – If you don’t wanna find me gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

Another night, another day
What can I say
You’re still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
When you’re the same old brand new you

You’ll change, you’ll never change
You’re never never gonna keep your promises x 2

Because of you, I guess we’re through
Is this the way it has to be
I’ve been a fool (Ben – I’ve been a fool)
A fool for you (Ben – A fool for you)
But I’ve got better things to do than let you walk all over me

Same old line, one more time
Say you’re gonna be, there for me
Say you’ll change, change your ways
Never gonna keep your promises
Same old game (Ben – You know it doesn’t turn me on)
Brand new day (Ben – You’re singing that same old song)
No more lies (Ben – If you don’t wanna find me gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

Another night, another day
What can I say
You’re still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
When you’re the same old brand new you

I can still remember the time you were there
When I needed to hold you, feel you
Everytime I ask you to find a new way
You lie a new way
Is it gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

(Instrumental break)

You’ll change, you’ll never change
You’re never never gonna keep your promises x 2

Same old line, one more time
Say you’re gonna be, there for me
Say you’ll change, change your ways
Never gonna keep your promises
Same old game (Ben – You know it doesn’t turn me on)
Brand new day (Ben – You’re singing that same old song)
No more lies (Ben – If you don’t wanna find me gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

Another night, another day
What can I say
You’re still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
When you’re still the same old brand new you

Another night, another day
What I can say
You break your promises in two
What can I do

Another night, another day
What I can say
You’re still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
You’re still the same old brand new you

I’ll get your dome piece open just like a New York deli
I’m mad cool like Garth Manzarelli
You’ve seen ’em on the tele with Ralph “The Mouth”
I rock the east, west, north, and the south
Without a doubt I’ve been know to turn the party out
You want clout let me show you what it’s all about
‘Cause I can give it up more than Madonna
You want to plea it’s not guilty your honor
‘Cause I can rock it all kinds of live ways
Like my man Dennis Miller does it on Fridays
I get closer than the Nine Inch Nails
I’m the opposite of the definition of stale
I’m fresher than the lettuce in your produce section
If you come to get us, better bring protection
I could rock a Texan, I could rock an Asian
I could rock the spectrum from black to caucasian

CHORUS:
It’s the same old, same old, blaze-blah
Sippin’ on the forty and puffin’ la

I got the sound byte that’ll get ya uptight
You wanna diss then there might be a fist fight
I measure 10 on the Richter scale
So call me Moby Dick and watch the great white whale
You could play the Ishmael but you’re doomed to fail
And if you didn’t know you better read the tale
‘Cause I give mail every time I play
And I can take it up town J. Disco’s way
And I can take it back down through the depths of hell
And blow up the spot like an artillery shell
‘Cause I’ve been all the way to the grave and back
And mad crews are comin’ out crazy, whack

CHORUS

I’m sicker than the Aids sores with band-aids
If my eyes are blood shot, I just put on my shades
I never got good grades, ’cause I was actin’ the fool
Duckin’ out of my school, hidin’ smokin’ a wool
And I never knew the plague until it claimed my cousin
I acted like he wasn’t, but junkies come a dime a dozen
I’ve seen the needle and the damage done
A syringe in the vein is like a loaded gun
In your mouth blowin’ up the back side of your mental
The only records they can verify are your dental
The instrumental is my forum
And when I rock the mic I do it with poise and the quorum

CHORUS
