The Wicked Witch of the East

[NESSAROSE]
That night at the Ozdust, Boq danced with me there
And it felt like he loved me then
That night, when I felt I was flirting widely
I want to feel that again

[ELPHABA, spoken]
Oh, Nessa, at last
I'd always been unsure I could
But finally, from these powers, something good
Something good!

[BOQ]
Nessa

[NESSAROSE]
Yes?

[BOQ]
Uh, Nessa
Surely now I'll matter less to you
And you won't mind my leaving here tonight

[NESSA]
Leaving?

[BOQ]
The moment when I read, Glinda's going to be wed to Fiyero

[NESSA]
Glinda?

[BOQ]
Yes, Nessa, that's right
And I've got to go appeal to her
Express the way I feel to her

[BOQ]
My heart, it feels like it's shrinking!

[NESSA]
Save him, please, just save him
My poor Boq, my sweet, my brave him
Don't leave me till my sorry life has ceased
Alone and loveless here, just the girl in the mirror
Just her and me!
The Wicked Witch of the East
We deserve each other
