What Is This Feeling?
Wicked Cast/Kristin Chenoweth Lyrics

Dearest darlingest momsie and popsical
My dear father

There's been some confusion
Some misunderstandings have occurred

Over rooming here at Shiz
About sharing a room at Shiz University

But of course, I'll care for Nessa
I will take care of Nessa, as you would want me to

But of course, I'll rise above it
I will move past any negative feelings

For I know that's how you'd want me to respond
I am aware that you would want me to handle situations with maturity

Yes, there's been some confusion
Yes, there have been some misunderstandings

For you see, my room-mate is
You see, my roommate is

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
Very strange and unique

And altogether quite impossible to describe
It's difficult to put her in words

Blonde
She has blonde hair

What is this feeling
What am I experiencing

So sudden and new?
It's so sudden and unfamiliar

I felt the moment
I felt it as soon as

I laid eyes on you
I saw you for the first time

My pulse is rushing
My heartbeat has increased

My head is reeling
My thoughts are all over the place

My face is flushing
I'm blushing

What is this feeling?
What is this sensation?

Fervid as a flame
Intense and passionate

Does it have a name?
Is there a term for this?

Yes!
There is

Loathing
Disgust and hatreds

Unadulterated loathing
Pure and complete disgust and hatred

For your face
Because of your appearance

Your voice
Your manner of speaking

Your clothing
What you're wearing

Let's just say, I loathe it all!
Simply put, I hate all of it

Every little trait, however small
Every feature, no matter how insignificant

Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
It makes my skin crawl

With simple utter loathing
With just the thought of it

There's a strange exhilaration
It's a peculiar feeling

In such total detestation
In complete and total contempt

It's so pure! So strong!
It's so authentic and intense

Though I do admit it came on fast
Although it was a sudden feeling

Still I do believe that it can last
I still think it can endure

And I will be loathing
And I will continue to despise

Loathing you
Disliking you

My whole life long!
For the rest of my life

Dear Glinda, you are just too good!
Glinda, you're too kind

How do you stand it? I don't think I could!
How can you handle this? I don't think I can

She's a terror! She's a tartar!
She's a tormentor! She's a harsh critic!

We don't mean to show a bias
We're not trying to be one-sided

But Glinda you're a martyr!
But Glinda, you are facing hardship

Well, these things are sent to try us!
These challenges come our way to test resilience

Poor Glinda, forced to reside
Glinda, who has to live

With someone so disgusticified
With someone so unpleasant

We just want to tell you
We want to convey

We're all on your side!
We support you!

There's a strange exhilaration
It's a peculiar feeling

In such total detestation
In complete and total contempt

It's so pure, so strong!
It's so authentic and intense

Though I do admit it came on fast
Although it was a sudden feeling

Still I do believe that it can last all
I still think it can endure

And I will be loathing
And I will continue to despise

For, forever loathing
Always disliking

Truly, deeply loathing you loathing you
Deeply disliking you, disliking you

My whole life long!
For the rest of my life

Unadulterated loathing
Pure and complete disgust and hatred

Boo!
An expression of disapproval
