(Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle?) 00:00

I hope you're happy 00:05

I hope you're happy now 00:06

I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever 00:08

I hope you think you're clever 00:11

I hope you're happy 00:13

I hope you're happy too 00:14

I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission 00:16

To feed your own ambition 00:20

So though I can't imagine how 00:22

I hope you're happy right now 00:27

00:36

(Elphie, listen to me, just say you're sorry) 00:39

You can still be with the wizard 00:43

What you've worked and waited for 00:48

You can have all you ever wanted 00:52

I know 01:00

But I don't want it 01:02

No, I can't want it 01:06

Anymore 01:13

01:20

Something has changed within me 01:25

Something is not the same 01:32

I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game 01:37

Too late for second-guessing 01:47

Too late to go back to sleep 01:51

It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap 01:56

It's time to try defying gravity 02:07

I think I'll try defying gravity 02:13

And you can't pull me down 02:19

(Can't I make you understand you're having delusions of grandeur?) 02:23

I'm through accepting limits 'cause someone says they're so 02:27

Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try, I'll never know 02:34

Too long I've been afraid of losing love, I guess I've lost 02:40

Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost 02:47

I'd sooner by defying gravity 02:53

Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity 03:00

And you can't pull me down 03:06

(Come with me, think of what we could do together) 03:13

Unlimited 03:17

Together, we're unlimited 03:21

Together, we'll be the greatest team there's ever been, Glinda 03:26

Dreams the way we planned 'em 03:32

(If we work in tandem) 03:36

There's no fight we cannot win 03:39

Just you and I, defying gravity 03:44

With you and I, defying gravity 03:51

They'll never bring us down 03:57

04:04

(Are you coming?) 04:13

I hope you're happy 04:22

Now that you're choosing this (you too) 04:25

I hope it brings you bliss 04:30

I really hope you get it 04:33

And you don't live to regret it 04:35

I hope you're happy in the end 04:38

I hope you're happy, my friend 04:45

(No, leave her alone, she hasn't done anything wrong) 04:55

(I'm the one you want, I'm the one you want, it's me!) 04:59

(It's me!) 05:03

So if you care to find me, look to the western sky 05:07

As someone told me lately, "Everyone deserves the chance to fly" 05:13

And if I'm flying solo 05:22

At least I'm flying free 05:24

To those who'd ground me, take a message back from me 05:28

Tell them how I am defying gravity 05:34

I'm flying high, defying gravity 05:40

And soon I'll match them in renown 05:46

05:52

Unlimited 06:03

06:10

Unlimited 06:12

06:19

Unlimited, oh 06:21

Nobody in all of Oz 06:31

No wizard that there is or was 06:35

Is ever gonna bring me down 06:38

I hope you're happy (look at her, she's wicked, kill her!) 06:46

Bring me down (no one mourns the wicked, so we've got to bring her) 06:51

06:58

Ah! (Down!) 07:01

Lyrics:

[English]

(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've 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 ambition

So though I can't imagine how

I hope you're happy right now

...

(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

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

(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 'til 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 by defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity

And you can't pull me down

With you and I, defying gravity

They'll never bring us down
