Elle:
Take back the books and pack up theclothes
Clear out the room and drop off the key
Leave with whats left of my dignity
Get in the car, and just go.
Chalk it all up to experiance,
They said I'd fail but I disagreed
Who could say then where my path would lead?
Well now I know
Back to the sun, back to the shore
Back to what I was before
Back where I'm known
Back in my own very small pond
Laugh with my friends when I arrive
We'll drop the top and just drive.
Thats fine with me, just let me be
Legally Blonde.
Elle:(sung)
Thanks for your help and for all you've done,
Thank you for treating me decently.
Emmett:(spoken)
What's wrong?
Elle:(sung)
Maybe someday you can visit me
Give me a call, say hello
Emmett:(sung)
Wait, Where are you going?
Elle: Sorry I'm letting down everyone
Emmett: What brought on this?
Elle:
You did you best with a hopeless case.
Emmett:
That's ludicrous
Both:
You are the best thing about this place.
Emmett:
Now you should know -
Elle:(interrupted, spoken)
Callahan hit on me
Emmett:(spoken)
He what?
Elle:
He kissed me, he fired me,
There's no reason for me to stay.
Emmett:(sung)
What about love?
I never mentioned love
The timings bad I know.
But perhaps if i made it more clear
That you belong right here
You wouldn't have to go.
Cause you'd know that I'm so much in love.
Please don't go.
Please will you open the door.
We both know we're worth so much more.
Elle:(sung at the same time as the last 3 lines)
Back to the sun, back to the shore.
Back to what I was before.
Lie on the beach, dream within reach
Don't stray beyond
Some girls fight hard, some face the trial.
Some girls were just meant to smile.
Emmett:
If you can hear, can I just say, how much I want you to stay.
Elle:
It's not up to me
Just let me be
Legally Blonde.
Emmett:
I need you to stay.
Elle:
It's not up to me
Just let me be,
