why couldn't you have just 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
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 ambitionSo though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right nowElphie, 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
AnymoreSomething 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:
Glinda, come with me
Think of what we could do, togetherTogether we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever beenDreams, the way we planned 'emIf we work in tandem:There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravityThey'll never bring us down!
Well?
Are you coming?I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing thisYou too
I hope it brings you blissI really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret itI hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend: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!
And 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!
Get her!Bring me down!No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring herAh
Down!
