[GLINDA]:

I hope your happy

I hope your happy now

I hope your happy how you hurt your cause forever

I hope you think your clever

[ELPHABA]:

I hope your happy

I hope your happy to

I hope your proud how you would grovel in submission

To feed your own ambition

[BOTH]:

So though I can’t imagine how

I hope your happy right now

[GLINDA]:

Elphie, Listen to me

Just say your sorry before it’s too late

You can still be with the wizard

What you 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

To late for second guessing

To 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

Your having delusions of grandeur

[ELPHABA]:

I’m through accepting limits cause someone says there so

Some things I cannot change

But till I try I’ll never know

To long I been afraid of

Losing love I guess I’ve lost

Well if that’s love

It come at much to higher cost!

I’d sooner by defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye..

I’m defying gravity!

And you can’t pull me down

[SPOKEN]: Quick get on!

[GLINDA]:

[SPOKEN]: What!

[ELPHABA]:

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 them

[GLINDA]:

If we work in tandem

[BOTH]:

Just you and I defying gravity

With you and I defying gravity

[ELPHABA]:

They’ll never bring us down..

[SPOKEN]: Well are you coming?


[INSTRUMENTAL]

[GLINDA]:

[SPOKEN]: Elphie, your trembling here put this around you..

[SUNG]: I hope your happy

Now that your choosing this

[ELPHABA]:

You to

I hope it brings you bliss

[BOTH]:

I really hope you get it

And you don’t live to regret it

I hope your happy in the end [HARMONY]

I hope your happy my friend

Guards break in..

[GUARDS]:

There she is don’t let her get away!

[GLINDA]:

No let go of me do you hear let me go!

[ELPHABA]:

It’s not her!

I’m the one you want it’s me!

It’s me!

[GLINDA]:

ELPHIE!

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’d ground me!

To a message back!

From me

Tell them how I’m 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 is or was

Is ever gonna bring..

Me down!

[GLINDA]:

I hope your happy!

[ELPHABA]:

Bring me down!

Ahhhahhhhh!
