Glinda |
|
Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once? Instead of flying off the handle! |
|
I hope you're happy |
|
I hope you're happy now |
|
I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever |
|
I hope you think you're clever |
|
Elphaba |
|
I hope you're happy |
|
I hope you're happy too |
|
I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission |
|
To feed your own ambition |
|
Both |
|
So though I can't imagine how |
|
I hope you're happy right now |
|
Glinda |
|
Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry! |
|
You can still be with the Wizard |
|
What you've worked and waited for |
|
You can have all you ever wanted... |
|
Elphaba |
|
I know |
|
But I don't want it |
|
No! |
|
I can't want it anymore... |
|
Something has changed within me |
|
Something is not the same |
|
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game |
|
Too late for second-guessing |
|
Too late to go back to sleep |
|
It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes, and leap... |
|
It's time to try defying gravity |
|
I think I'll try defying gravity |
|
And you can't pull me down |
|
Glinda |
|
Can't I make you understand |
|
You're having delusions of grandeur? |
|
Elphaba |
|
I'm through accepting limits 'cause someone says they're so |
|
Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try, I'll never know |
|
Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost |
|
Well if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost |
|
I'd sooner buy defying gravity |
|
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity |
|
And you can't pull me down! |
|
Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do together! |
|
Unlimited, together we're unlimited |
|
Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been |
|
Glinda, dreams the way we planned 'em |
|
Glinda |
|
If we work in tandem |
|
Both |
|
There's no fight we cannot win |
|
Just you and I, defying gravity |
|
With you and I defying gravity |
|
Elphaba |
|
They'll never bring us down! |
|
Well, are you coming? |
|
Glinda |
|
I hope you're happy, now that you're choosing this... |
|
Elphaba |
|
You too. |
|
I hope it brings you bliss... |
|
Both |
|
I really hope you get it |
|
And you don't live to regret it |
|
I hope you're happy in the end |
|
I hope you're happy, my friend |
|
Elphaba |
|
So if you care to find me, look to the Western sky! |
|
As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly |
|
And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free |
|
To those who ground me, take a message back from me! |
|
Tell them how I am defying gravity |
|
I'm flying high, defying gravity |
|
And soon I'll match them in renown |
|
And nobody in all of Oz |
|
No Wizard that there is or was |
|
Is ever gonna bring me down! |
|
Glinda |
|
I hope you're happy |
|
Citizens of Oz |
|
Look at her, she's wicked |
|
Get her! |
|
Elphaba |
|
Bring me down! |
|
Citizens of Oz |
|
No one mourns the wicked |
|
So we've got to bring her... |
|
Elphaba |
|
Ahhhh! |
|
Citizens of Oz |
|
...down! |
