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

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

So though I can't imagine how

I hope you're happy right now

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

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

Can't I make you understand you're having delusions of grandeur?

I'm through accepting limits 'cause 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

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

If we work in tandem

There's no fight we cannot win

Just you and I defying gravity

With you and I defying gravity

They'll never bring us down

Are you coming?

I hope you're happy

Now that you're choosing this

You too

I hope it brings you bliss

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

No leave her alone she hasn't done anything wrong

I'm the one you want I'm the one you want it's me

It's me

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 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

Unlimited

Unlimited

Unlimited oh

Nobody in all of Oz

No wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down

I hope you're happy

Look at her she's wicked kill her

Bring me down

No one mourns the wicked so we've got to bring her

Ah Down

Down Ah
