All of this time I planned
I'd be patient and you would love me again
You'd come to respect my mind
And at last you'd find you could love me again
And I have turned my whole world upside down
Trying not to let you go
Watching you walk away is like a fatal blow
Whoa!
Is that my name up on that list?
Does someone know that I exist?
Is this a mistake? Am I even awake?
Pinch me now to make sure
Yes, that's my name in black and white
Maybe I'm doing something right
Whoa, I feel so much better than before
Warner!
Sorry I've been a pest
But I guess my best was not working with you
Looks like I've found a cure and I so look forward
To working with you
[WARNER]
What? Working with who?
[ELLE]
Hey, remember when we spent Spring Break
In the hot tub every night
[ENSEMBLE]
Every night!
[ELLE]
You said nothing else could ever feel so right
Well, this might!
[ENSEMBLE]
Snap!
[ELLE]
Seeing my name up on that list
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh, on that list
[ELLE]
That beats the first time that we kissed
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh, that they kissed
[ELLE]
You thought I was dumb
But I think that somebody's judgement was poor
Seeing my name in black and white
It's like making love with you all night
No, wait, it feels so much better
Hello, much better
It's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh much better
'Cause I am so much better than before
[ENSEMBLE]
Yes, she's so much better than before
Yes, she's so much better than before
[ELLE]
Maybe she's what you prefer
But, hey, last year I was her
Maybe you will change your mind
But you might look up to find
I've gone on to better things
Better jobs or bigger rings
I don't have the time to cry
I'm too busy loving
[ELLE/ENSEMBLE]
My name up on that list
Kind of a cool, ironic twist
[ELLE]
Who else can I tell?
Oh, where's my cell
Mom will fall on the floor
[ELLE/ENSEMBLE]
Hey Mom!
Look at my name in black and white
Your daughter's doing something right
I feel so much better
I'll be there on Monday, nine o'clock
Then we will see who walks the walk
[ELLE]
No, no, I can't wait!
I will be there at eight
When they unlock the door
[ELLE/ENSEMBLE]
Oh, oh! I'll even dress in black and white
See, I have not begun to fight
[ELLE]
And you'll go
[ENSEMBLE]
OH!
[ELLE]
Much better
[ENSEMBLE]
Hello!
[ELLE]
Much better
[ELLE/ENSEMBLE]
And soon all y’all gonna know much better
[ELLE]
I am so much better
[ENSEMBLE]
I am so much better
[ELLE]
I am so much better
[ENSEMBLE]
I am so much
[ELLE/ENSEMBLE]
I am so much better
[ELLE]
Than before
