Lyrics

[GLINDA] I hope you're happy nowI hope you're happy how you’ve hurt your cause foreverI hope you think you're clever [ELPHABA, spoken] I hope you're happy [ELPHABA]I hope you're happy tooI hope you're proud how you wouldGrovel in submission to feed your own ambition [GLINDA & ELPHABA] So though I can't imagine how I hope you're happy right now [GLINDA, spoken] Elphie, listen to me Just say you're sorry [GLINDA]You can still be with the WizardWhat you’ve worked and waited forYou can have all you ever wantеd [ELPHABA, spoken] I know [ELPHABA] But I don’t want itNo, I can't want it anymore Something has changed within mеSomething is not the sameI’m through with playing byThe rules of someone else's gameToo late for second-guessingToo late to go back to sleepIt's time to trust my instinctsClose 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 understandYou'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 ofLosing love, I guess I've lost Well, if that's love It comes at much too high a costI'd sooner buy defying gravity Kiss me goodbye , I'm defying gravity And you can't pull me down [ELPHABA, spoken] Come with meThink of what we could do together [ELPHABA] Unlimited Together, we're unlimitedTogether, we'll be the greatest team there's ever been, GlindaDreams 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 [ELPHABA, spoken] Are you coming? [GLINDA] I hope you're happy Now that you're choosing this [ELPHABA, spoken] You, too [ELPHABA] 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, spoken] No, leave her alone!She hasn't done anything wrongI'm the one you wantI'm the one you want!It's me! [ELPHABA] It's me So if you care to find meLook 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 Take 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 UnlimitedUnlimitedUnlimited [ELPHABA, spoken] And, nobody in all of Oz[ELPHABA]No wizard that there is or wasIs ever gonna bring me down [GLINDA] I hope you're happy [CITIZENS OF OZ] Look at her! She's wicked! Kill her! [CITIZENS OF OZ & ELPHABA ] No one mourns the wicked ( Bring me down ) So we've got to bring her [ELPHABA] Oh [CITIZENS OF OZ] Down Down Woah
