Wicked - What Is This Feeling

Tekst piosenki

GLINDA:
(spoken) Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsicle:

ELPHABA:
(spoken) My dear Father:

BOTH:
There's been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz:

ELPHABA:
But of course, I'll care for Nessa:

GLINDA:
But of course, I'll rise above it:

BOTH:
For I know that's how you'd want me to respond
(Spoken:) Yes
There's been some confusion
For you see, my roommate is:

GLINDA:
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe:

ELPHABA:
Blonde.

GLINDA:
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:
My face is flushing;

BOTH:
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes! Loathing
Unadulterated loathing

GLINDA:
For your face;

ELPHABA:
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 and 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!

STUDENTS:
Dear Glinda, you are just too good
How do you stand it? I don't think I could!
She's a terror! She's a Tartar!
We don't mean to show a bias,
But Glinda, you're a martyr!

GLINDA:
Well; these things are sent to try us!

STUDENTS:
Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We all just want to tell you:
We're all on your side!
We share your;

BOTH:
What is this feeling
So sudden and new?
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling
Oh, what is this feeling?
Does it have a name?
Yes
Ahhh

STUDENTS (BACKGROUND):
