Glinda:    
Elphaba why couldn't you have stayed calm for once 
instead of flying off the handle?

(sung) 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

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

Both:      
So though i can't imagine how
i hope you're happy right now

Glinda:    
Elphie, listen to me 
Just say you're sorry

(sung) You can still be with the wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted...

Elphaba:
I know-

(sung) 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'll never know
too long ive been afraid of 
losing love i guess i've lost
well if that's love 
it comes at much to high a cost

I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye i'm defying gravity 
and you can't pull me down

(spoken) Glinda come with me 
think of what we could do
together...

(sung) unlimited 
together we're unlimited 
together we'll be greatest team there ever is
Glinda, dreams the way we planned them

Glinda:
if we work in tandem...

Both:
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

Both:
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 ground me 
take a message back from me

tell them how i
am defying gravity
Im 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 your happy

Citizens of Oz:
Look at her she's wicked
Get her

Elphaba:
Bring me down

Citizens of Oz:
No one mourns the wicked
so we've got to bring her...

Elphaba:
Ahhhhh!

Citizens of Oz:
Down!
