Stephen Schwartz - What Is This Feeling? lyrics

Galinda Dearest, darling-est Momsie and Popsicle... Elphaba My dear Father... Both There's been some confusion over rooming here at Shiz... Elphaba But, of course, I'll care for Nessa... Galinda But, of course, I'll rise above it... Both For I know that's how you'd want me to respond Yes, there's been some confusion for you see my roommate is... Galinda Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe Elphaba Blonde Galinda What is this feeling so sudden and new? Elphaba I felt the moment I laid eyes on you Galinda My pulse is rushing Elphaba My head is reeling Galinda My face is flushing Both What is this feeling? Fervid as a flame Does it have a name? Yes! Loathing Unadulterated loathing Galinda For your face Elphaba Your voice Galinda 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! Students Dear Galinda, 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 Galinda you're a martyr! Galinda Well...these things are sent to try us! Students Poor Galinda, forced to reside With someone so disgusticified We just want to tell you We're all on your side! We share your... Galinda & Elphaba with Students (Loathing) What is this feeling so sudden and new? (Unadulterated loathing) I felt the moment I laid eyes on you (For her face, her voice, her clothing) My pulse is rushing (Let's just say) My head is reeling (We loathe it all!) Oh, what is this feeling? (Ev'ry little trait, however small) Does it have a name? (Makes our very flesh begin to crawl) Yes, ah... Loathing! (Loathing!) There's a strange exhilaration (Loathing!) In such total detestation (Loathing!) It's so pure, so strong! (So strong) Though I do admit it came on fast Still, I do believe that it can last And I will be loathing, for forever (Loathing...) Loathing, truly, deeply (Loathing...) Loathing you (Loathing you...) My whole life long! (Loathing, unadulterated loathing) Elphaba Boo! Galinda Ahh!
