What Is This Feeling? Lyrics

    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 admit it came on fast,
    Still I do believe that it can last,
    And I will be loathing,
    loathing you
    my whole life

    GALINDA (ELPHABA)
    What is this feeling, (Loathing!)
    so sudden and new? (Unadulterated loathing!)
    I felt the moment (For your face, your voice)
    I laid eyes on you (your clothing!)
    My pulse is rushing, (Let's just say:)
    My head is reeling, (I loathe it all!)
    Oh, what is this feeling? (Ev'ry little trait however small)
    Does it have a name? (makes my very flesh)
    Yes... (begin to crawl!)

    BOTH
    Ahhh!!

    Loathing!
    There's a strange exhilaration
    in such total detestation
    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,
    For forever loathing,
    Truly, deeply loathing you
    my whole life long!
