FOR I KNOW THAT'S HOW YOU'D WANT ME TO RESPOND
|
YES, THERE'S BEEN SOME CONFUSION
|
FOR YOU SEE, MY ROOM-MATE IS ...

|
[GLINDA]
|
UNUSUALLY AND EXCEEDINGLY PECULIAR
|
AND ALTOGETHER QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE ...

WHAT IS THIS FEELING
|
SO SUDDEN AND NEW?
|
|
[ELPHABA]
|
I FELT THE MOMENT
|
I LAID EYES ON YOU ...
|
|
[GLINDA]
|
MY PULSE IS RUSHING ...

|
[ELPHABA]
|
MY HEAD IS REELING ...
|
|
[GLINDA]

WHAT IS THIS FEELING?
|
FERVID AS A FLAME

[ELPHABA]</i>
|
YOUR VOICE ...
|
|
[GLINDA]
|
YOUR CLOTHING ...
|
|
[BOTH]
|
LET'S JUST SAY -- I LOATHE IT ALL!
|
EV'RY LITTLE TRAIT, HOWEVER SMALL
|
MAKES MY VERY FLESH BEGIN TO CRAWL
|
WITH SIMPLE UTTER LOATHING
|
THERE'S A STRANGE EXHILARATION
|
IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION
|
IT'S SO PURE! SO STRONG!
|
THOUGH I DO ADMIT IT CAME ON FAST
|
STILL I DO BELIEVE THAT IT CAN LAST
|
AND I WILL BE LOATHING
|
LOATHING YOU
|
MY WHOLE LIFE LONG!
