What Is This Feeling? (Original Cast Recording/2003) - Kristin Chenoweth & Idina Menzel

I was hot I went to parties a lot Y'know? I was driving Lamborghinis Sipping super-dry martinis In the tiniest bikinis on a yacht But I was depressed Also completely obsessed An unhappy beauty queen Who dreamed to be Miss Argentina I had such low self-esteem I was a mess So I gave it all up for the netherworld I've been here forever, girl If I was more clever, girl I would've stuck it out Knowing what life's about Pain and joy and suffering Failing but recovering I'll tell you another thing Everyone here is alone So if you are breathing Go home! If I knew then What I know now I would have looked within and let love in somehow If I only knew The truth back then I wouldn't have had my little accident Don't be blind You left your whole life behind See a shrink Call a priest Ask the recently deceased Death is final and you cannot press rewind Don't jump when the light is red Toasters should be used for bread Never smoke cigars in bed Nietzsche was right, y'know, to live is to suffer, bro Don't cheat on the one you wed Never whip a thoroughbred Angry pygmys shrunk his head Why did it take death to see Happiness was up to me? If I knew then What I know now I would've laughed and danced And lanced every sacred cow I thought I knew But I was wrong 'Cause life is short But death is super long I exploded! If I knew then (If I knew) What I know now I would've crossed every line And drank all the wine Before my final bow If I knew (If I knew) The things that now I know I would ride the highs and cherish the lows Going, it's a quick trick 'round the rodeo So before they lower the curtain, be certain to enjoy the show That's what I know! Life is short but death is long Here, one minute then it's gone Thought I knew but I was wrong If I only knew what I know now!

Do you hear that sound? That beautiful sound? That is the sound, of clean, white, shorts turning brown Torture and pain Breaking a brain (this is so weird!) A sound that says I will never sleep well again The sound of a scream, is music to me A sound that says fifteen years full-time therapy Trauma and fear, it sings in my ear Ain't it the sweetest noise around, that beautiful sound?

Hey look at me (we're looking at you girl) I'm finally free You're finally free girl I was invisible (she was invisible) But now they all see They're out of my grill Because of that Shrill symphony Ain't it the Sweetest noise around That beautiful sound (that sound) Sound (that sound) Sound (that sound) Sound That beautiful sound That beautiful sound That beautiful sound That beautiful sound

They say The price of my war's not a price that they are willing to pay Insane You cheat with the French Now I'm fighting with France and with Spain I'm so blue I thought that we made an arrangement when you went away You were mine to subdue When even despite our estrangement I've got a small query for you What comes next? You've been freed Do you know how hard it is to lead? You're on your own Awesome, wow! Do you have a clue what happens now? Oceans rise Empires fall It's much harder when it's all your call All alone, across the sea When your people say they hate you Don't come crawling back to me Da da da dat da dat da da da ya da Da da dat da da ya da! You're on your own

There's nothing like summer in the city Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty There's trouble in the air, you can smell it And Alexander's by himself I'll let him tell it I hadn't slept in a week I was weak, I was awake You've never seen a bastard orphan More in need of a break Longing for Angelica Missing my wife That's when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life She said I know you are a man of honor I'm so sorry to bother you at home But I don't know where to go And I came here all alone She said My husband's doin' me wrong Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me Suddenly he's up and gone I don't have the means to go on So I offered her a loan I offered to walk her home, she said (You're too kind, sir) I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away She lived a block away, she said (This one's mine, sir) Then I said, "Well, I should head back home" She turned red, she led me to her bed Let her legs spread and said (Stay?) Hey (Hey) That's when I began to pray Lord, show me how to say no to this I don't know how to say no to this But my God, she looks so helpless And her body's saying, "hell, yes" No, show me how to say no to this (Whoa) I don't know how to say no to this In my mind, I'm trynna go (Go, go, go!) Then her mouth is on mine, and I don't say (No! No!) Say no to this! No! No! Say no to this! No! No! Say no to this! No! No! Say no to this! I wish I could say that was the last time I said that last time, it became a pastime A month into this endeavor I received a letter from a Mr. James Reynolds Even better, it said Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth In the pockets of people like me Down on their luck You see, that was my wife who you decided to Fu— Uh-oh! You made the wrong sucker a cuckold So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled And hey, you can keep seein' my whore wife If the price is right If not, I'm telling your wife I hid the letter and I raced to her place Screamed "How could you?" in her face She said (No, sir!) Half dressed, apologetic A mess, she looked pathetic She cried (Please don't go, sir!) So was your whole story a setup? (I don't know about any letter!) Stop crying goddamnit, get up! (I didn't know any better!) I am ruined (Please don't leave me with him) I am helpless (I am helpless) How could I do this? Just give him what he wants and you can have me (I don't want you) Whatever you want (I don't want you) If you pay you can stay (I don't-) Lord, show me how to say no to this (Tonight) I don't know how to say no to this But the situation's helpless (Helpless) And her body's screaming "hell, yes" No, show me how to say no to this! (Whoa!) How can I say no to this? There is nowhere I can go (Go, go, go!) When her body's on mine I do not say (No!) Yes! Yes... (Say no to this) (No!) Yes! Yes... (Say no to this) (No!) Yes! Yes... (Say no to this) (No!) Yes! Yes! (Say no to this!) Say no to this, I don't say no to this There is nowhere I can go (Go, go, go) So? Nobody needs to know

Remember how we used to party up all night? Sneakin' out and lookin' for a taste of real life Drinkin' in the small town firelight (Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice) Sweet sixteen, and we had arrived Walkin' down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi!" Stealin' police cars with the senior guys Teachers said we'd never make it out alive There she was, my new best friend High heels in her hand, swayin' in the wind While she starts to cry Mascara running down her little Bambi eyes "Lana, how I hate those guys" This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We all stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen And that's where the beginnin' of the end begun Everybody knew that we had too much fun We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job With the boss Sweet sixteen, and we had arrived Baby's table dancin' at the local dive Cheerin' our names in the pink spotlight Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night Yo, we used to go break into the hotel Glimmerin', we'd swim Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops Screamin', "Get us while we're hot, get us while we're hot" (C'mon, take a shot) This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We all stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen The prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen Ribbons in our hair, and our eyes gleamed mean A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens And you know somethin'? They were the only friends I ever had We got into trouble and when stuff got bad I got sent away, I was wavin' on the train platform Cryin' 'cause I know I'm never comin' back This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We all stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen
