As Long As You're Mine
Wicked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Elphaba
Oooh, ohhh...
Kiss me too fiercely, hold me too tight
I need help believing you're with me tonight
My wildest dreamings could not foresee
Lying beside you with you wanting me

Just for this moment, as long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance and crossed some borderline
And if it turns out it's over too fast
I'll make ev'ry last moment last
As long as you're mine...

Fiyero
Maybe I'm brainless, maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling it's "up" that I fell...

Both
Every moment, as long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body and make up for lost time...
Fiyero
Say there's no future for us as a pair...
Both
And though I may know, I don't care...

Just for this moment, as long as you're mine
Come be how you want to, and see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight, until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine...

Fiyero
What is it?





Elphaba
It's just—for the first time, I feel...wicked.

Overall Meaning

The song "As Long As You're Mine" from the musical Wicked is a duet between the two main characters, Elphaba and Fiyero. In this song, the two express their love and desire for each other, giving into the moment and losing themselves in each other's embrace. Elphaba sings of her need for reassurance of Fiyero's love, while Fiyero shares that he has fallen under her spell and sees her in a new light.


The lyrics express the idea of living in the moment and making the most of their time together, even if it may not last forever. They both acknowledge that their love may not have a future, but they don't care, as long as they have each other in the present. The song climaxes with the two characters giving into their passion and desire, promising to hold onto each other for as long as they can.


The final line of the song, delivered by Elphaba, is particularly poignant. As she realizes the depth of her feelings for Fiyero, she admits that she feels "wicked" for giving into her desires. This line underscores the idea that true love is often messy and complicated, and can sometimes make us feel as though we are doing something wrong.


Overall, "As Long As You're Mine" is a powerful and emotional song that helps to drive the love story at the heart of Wicked.

Song

Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
My wildest dreamings
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me

And just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some borderline
And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make every last moment last
As long as you're mine

Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's "up" that I fell

Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time

Say there's no future
For us as a pair

And though I may know
I don't care

Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine

What is it?

It's just, for the first time, I feel wicked

the original cast is unbeatable.

@sophielapierre7075

Without a doubt!

@johncapada5076

I wish I had seen them in person😥🤩🤩

@elliewasserman7691

Absolutely.

@ProfessorSassypants

Totally agree. It’s often the case cause they bring the characters to life for the first time so everyone after that is really just building from that vision. Love this OG cast.

@MeriPT

I did love Jessica Vosk as Elphaba though

It's a little disappointing that they don't show the end where he asks her, "What is it?" and she answers, "It's just..for the first time, I feel..wicked".
