What Is This Feeling? (From "Wicked")

What Is This Feeling? - Original Cast

There's been some confusion over rooming here at Shiz

But of course I'll care for Nessa

But of course I'll rise above it

For I know that's how you'd want me to respond yes

There's been some confusion for you see my roomate is

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar

And altogether quite impossible to describe

Blonde

What is this feeling so sudden and new

I felt the moment I laid eyes on you

My pulse is rushing

My head is reeling

My face is flushing

What is this feeling Fervid as a flame

Does is have a name Yes

Loathing Unadulterated loathing

For your face

Your voice

Your clothing

Let's just say- I loath it all

Every little trait however small makes my very flesh

Begin to crawl with simple utter loathing

There's a strange exhilaration In such total detestation

It's so pure so strong

Though I do admit it came on fast

Still I do believe that it can last

And I will be loathing loathing you my whole life long

Dear Galinda you are just too good How do you stand it

I don't think I could She's a terror she's a tartar

We don't mean to show a bias but Galinda

You're a martyr

Well these things are sent to try us

Poor Galinda forced to reside

With someone so disgusticified

We just want to tell you we're all on your side

(While ensemble sings )

What is this feeling so sudden and new

I felt the moment I laid eyes on you

My pulse is rushing my head is reeling

Oh what is this feeling Does is have a name

Yes ahhhhh loathing

There's a strange exhilaration in such total detestation

It's so pure so strong

Though I do admit it came on fast

Still I do believe that it can last

And I will be loathing for forever loathing

Truly deeply loathing you my whole life long
