[GLINDA]
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
[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
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
Cuz someone says they´re so
Some things I cannot change
But till 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
[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
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 decides to stay behind.]
[GLINDA]
I hope you´re happy
I hope your happy now that your choosing this -
[ELPHABA]
You too--
I hope it brings you bliss
[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
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 got to bring her -
[ELPHABA]
Ahhhh!
[CITIZENS OF OZ]
--Down!
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
