So Much Better

[ELLE]
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

Ow!
Yes, that's my name in black and white!
Maybe I'm doing something right!
Wow, 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 ev'ry night

[STUDENTS]
Ev'ry night!

[ELLE]
We said nothing else could ever
Feel so right?
Well, this might!

[STUDENTS]
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, whoa: they kissed?

[ELLE]
You thought I was dumb?
But I think that some-
Body's judgement was poor!

[ELLE, STUDENTS]
Seein' my name in black and white Seein' that name in black and white
It's like making love with you all night
No, wait!
It feels so much better! So much better?
Hello, much better! Oh? Much better?
It's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh!
Much better

'Cause I am so much better Ha ha so much better!
Than before!

[STUDENTS]
Guess 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/GREEK Chorus]
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/GREEK Chorus]
Hey Mom!
Look at my name in black and white

[ELLE]
Your daughter's doing something right

[GREEK Chorus]
Something right

[ELLE/GREEK Chorus]
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/GREEK Chorus]
Oh, oh!
I'll even dress in black and white
See, I have not begun to fight

[ELLE]
And you'll go

[GREEK Chorus]
OH!

[ELLE]
Much better

[GREEK Chorus]
Hello!

[ELLE]
Much better

[ELLE/GREEK Chorus]
And soon all y’all gonna know much better

[ELLE]
That I am so much better

[GREEK Chorus]
I am so much better

[ELLE]
I am so much better

[GREEK CHORUS]
I am so much

[ELLE/GREEK Chorus]
I am so much better

[ELLE]
Than before!
