Glinda: 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 HURT YOUR CAUSE FOREVER
                  I HOPE YOU THINK YOU'RE CLEVER
Elphaba:          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
Glinda & Elphaba: SO THOUGH I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW
                  I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY RIGHT NOW
Glinda: 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
Elphaba: 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
Glinda:           CAN'T I MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND?
                  YOU'RE HAVING DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR
Elphaba:          I'M THROUGH ACCEPTING LIMITS
                  'CAUSE SOMEONE SAYS THEY'RE SO
                  SOME THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE
                  BUT TILL I TRY I 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 ... together.
                  UNLIMITED
                  TOGETHER WE'RE UNLIMITED
                  TOGETHER WE'LL BE THE GREATEST TEAM THERE'S EVER BEEN
                  GLINDA, DREAMS THE WAY WE PLANNED 'EM
Glinda:           IF WE WORK IN TANDEM
Glinda & Elphaba: THERE'S NO FIGHT WE CANNOT WIN
                  JUST YOU AND I DEFYING GRAVITY
                  WITH YOU AND I DEFYING GRAVITY
Elphaba:          THEY'LL NEVER BRING US DOWN
         Well? Are you coming?
Glinda:           I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY
                  NOW THAT YOU'RE CHOOSING THIS
Elphaba: You too. I HOPE IT BRINGS YOU BLISS
Glinda & Elphaba: 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
Elphaba:          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!
Glinda:           I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY
Guards:           LOOK AT HER! SHE'S WICKED! GET HER!
Elphaba:          BRING ME DOWN!!
Guards:           NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED!
                  SO WE'VE GOT ... TO ... BRING ... HER ...
Elphaba:          AAAAAH!
Guards:           DOWN!
