Call Me Beautiful

The lights of the stage come on. Elphaba stands up and sings the song that she wrote.

"I looked in her room

Her sitting with her guy

I'm left alone, and ignored

Ever wondering if I'll ever find love

I want someone to say that I'm beautiful

Someone to depend on

Someone to tell me that everything's gonna be alright

Laughing these silent tears in my mind away

I think in my mind is that this is for

I want somebody to call me beautiful

I see them walking down the hall

Her leaning her head on his shoulder

I want him to realize that I'm the girl

I'm sitting in the backseat, while they're walking

hand in hand

I want someone to say that I'm beautiful

Someone to depend on

Someone to tell me that everything's gonna be alright

Laughing these silent tears in my mind away

I think in my mind is that this is for

I want somebody to call me beautiful

I want him to see that she's not it

He makes it so hard for me to breathe

I feel my eyes burn

So I run and hide under a tree

And cry

I want someone to say that I'm beautiful

Someone to depend on

Someone to tell me that everything's gonna be alright

Laughing these silent tears in my mind away

I think in my mind is that this is for

I want somebody to call me beautiful

Call me b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l

That's beautiful"

What she didn't notice was that in the audience, Fiyero had given her a standing ovation.
