What Is This Feeling? - From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003

Dearest, darlingest momsie and popsicle
My dear father
There's been some confusion over rooming here at Shiz
But of course I'll care for Nessa
But of course, I'll rise above it
For I know that's how you'd want me to respond, yes. There's been some confusion for you see my roomate is
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Blonde

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
My face is flushing
What is this feeling? Fervid as a flame, does it have a name? Yes

Loathing unadulterated loathing
For your face
Your voice
Your clothing
Let's just say I loath it all every little trait how ever 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

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
Well, these things are sent to try us
Poor Galinda, forced to reside with someone so disgusticified, We just want to tell you, we're all on your side

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, ahhhhh... 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 for forever, loathing, truly deeply loathing you, my whole life long
