Wicked
Idina Menzel/Kristin Chenoweth Lyrics

Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm, for once!
Instead of getting angry and acting impulsively, why couldn't you control your emotions, just this once?

I hope you're happy
I wish you feel satisfied and content

I hope you're happy now
I hope that you're happy with the outcome of your actions

I hope you're happy how you've
I hope that you're happy with the way you've

Hurt your cause forever
Damaged your purpose or mission permanently

I hope you think you're clever
I hope you believe that your actions were smart or wise

I hope you're happy too
I also wish that you're happy with your choices

I hope you're proud how you would
I hope that you're satisfied and proud of the way you're willing to

Grovel in submission
Act humbly, apologetically, or subserviently

To feed your own ambition
To pursue your own goals and aspirations

So though I can't imagine how
Even though I can't comprehend how

I hope you're happy
I wish that you're happy

Right now
At this moment, currently

Elphie, listen to me.
Elphie, hear me out.

Just say you're sorry!
Offer an apology, make amends, express remorse.

You can still be with the Wizard
You can still work with the powerful Wizard

What you've worked and waited for
What you've put effort and time into achieving

You can have all you ever wanted
You can possess anything that you've ever desired

I know
I acknowledge

But I don't want it
But I don't desire it

No!
An exclamation of negation or refusal

I can't want it anymore
I am no longer able to desire it

Something has changed within me
I've undergone some transformation or change in my personal disposition

Something is not the same
Something is no longer identical or equivalent

I'm through with playing by
I'm no longer interested in following or adhering to

The rules of someone else's game
The principles or practices set by someone else's agenda or interests

Too late for second-guessing
It's too late to reconsider or doubt the decision already made

Too late to go back to sleep
It's too late to revert to a state of unawareness or blissful ignorance

It's time to trust my instincts
It's time to rely on my intuition or gut feeling

Close my eyes
Shut my eyes

And leap
Jump or take a major action, taking a risk or challenge

It's time to try defying gravity
It's time to dare to do something unconventional or extraordinary

I think I'll try defying gravity
I'm considering breaking free from conventional wisdom or established norms

And you can't pull me down
And you can't restrict or constrain me

Can't I make you understand
Can't I get you to see or comprehend

You're having delusions of grandeur?
You're having unrealistic or exaggerated sense of your own importance or power?

I'm through accepting limits
I'm determined to reject restrictions and barriers

'Cause someone says they're so
Just because someone asserts they're in place

Some things I cannot change
Some things are beyond my control to modify

But till I try I'll never know
But until I take a chance or an attempt, I'll never determine the outcome

Too long I've been afraid of
For an extended time, I've been apprehensive or fearful of

Losing love, I guess I've lost
Losing affection or acceptance, I suppose I've failed or missed out

Well if that's love
If that definition of love is accurate, true or moral

It comes at much too high a cost
It demands a tremendous sacrifice or price to pay

I'd sooner buy defying gravity
I prefer risking freedom and breaking limitations over purchasing or trading love

Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
Say goodbye to me, I'm going against the conventional and conventional wisdom

And soon I'll match them in renown
And soon I'll be as famous or celebrated as them

And nobody in all of Oz
And no one, ever, in the entire land of Oz

No wizard that there is or was
No other powerful person that lived or exists

Is ever gonna bring me down!
Can ever stop me from achieving my goal or ambition

Glinda, come with me.
Glinda, accompany me

Think of what we could do together!
Imagining what we have the potential to accomplish collectively

Unlimited
Without limitation or restriction

Together we're unlimited
When we work together, we can achieve anything

Together we'll be the greatest team
Together we'll be the most accomplished or superior duo

There's ever been, Glinda!
In the history of time, there has never been anyone like us, Glinda!

Dreams the way we planned 'em
The dreams we have in mind, the way we designed them

If we work in tandem
If we collaborate or coordinate every single step

There's no fight we cannot win
There's no adversity too great that we cannot overcome

Just you and I, defying gravity
Just the two of us, breaking free from restrictions

With you and I defying gravity
With your presence beside me, also defying the conventional

They'll never bring us down!
No one or nothing will have the power to eliminate us

Bring me down!
Requeting someone to stop trying to restrict me

No one mourns the wicked
No one feels sadness or grief for those considered to be wicked

Ah!
An exclamation in surprise, wonder or excitement
