| BOTHThere’s been some confusion
|
| Over rooming here at Shiz:
|
| ELPHABA
|

| BOTHLet’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!
|
