What You Want

Wait a sec

This is the kind of girl Warner wants

Someone serious

Someone lawyerly

Someone who wears black when nobody's dead

Girls, I have a completely brilliant plan

What you want, Warner

What you want is me

But you need to see me in a brand new domain

Well it's plain, Warner

In a different setting

You will see you're getting all of this plus a brain

I'll meet you there at Harvard with a book in my hand

Big sturdy book

Big wordy book

Full of words, I'll understand

And right there is where you'll see it, too

Warner, what you want is right in front of you

What you want

It's clear

What you want

Right here

What you want is right in front of you, front of you

What you want

It's clear

What you want

Right here

What you want is right in front of you, front of you

Step one, he's off to Harvard Law, so I get in there too

Step two, make Warner reassess, impress him with my high IQ

Step three, we throw a great big wedding

And invite all Delta Nu

That's great, nice plan

Now can we think this through?

Harvard Law School?

I have a 4.0 average

Yeah, in Fashion Merchandising

What makes you think you can do this?

Love, I'm doing this for love

And love will see me through

Yes with love on my side, I can't lose

And Harvard can't refuse

A love so pure and true

Don't lawyers feel love too?

Even if they do

What you want, sweetheart, is no easy thing

If you're going to swing it, it will wreck your senior spring, yeah, it's true

First, you'll need an LSAT score of more than 174

So no more parties for you

You'll need a killer essay, or do not even hope

And glowing letters from your betters

Any chance you know the pope? (Hm, nope)

Too bad 'cause that would be a coup

And you've got a lot of work in front of you

What you want

Yes, I know

What you want

Even so

What you want is right in front of you, front of you

What you want (Girl, you go!)

What you want (No, really, go!)

What you want is right in front of you, front of you

Law school?

Yes, Daddy, law school!

Good God, why? Law school is for boring, ugly, serious people

And you, Button, are none of those things

What you want, Button, hey, you just say the word

But what you want's absurd and costs a whole lot of swag

And hell, why?

Button, when you can stay right here

Pursue a film career

How 'bout a nice Birkin bag?

Yes, the east coast is foreign

There's no film studios

It's cold and dark, no valet parking

All the girls have different noses!

Christ, Button! It's like the damned frontier

Tell me what's out there that you can't get right here?

Guys, love! (Love?)

I'm going there for love (Good God!)

A love I have to win

I can live without sun or valet

I can't just walk away

Betray what might have been

Fine, okay, I'll pay your way if you get in!

What you want

Make good grades

What you want

And it's paid

What you want is right in front of you, front of you

Hey everybody, it's the Spring Fling Beer Bash Extreme!

Extreme

Not for you! Time to study! Go!

This year's theme, Jamaican Me Crazy!

What you want, you wanna be out because the sun, she warm

What you want, you wanna be study-stuck inside your dorm

What you want, you wanna be partyin' with us all night long

What you want, you wanna be strong

Be strong!

Oh-oh

134, not good enough, try again, go!

What you want, you wanna be groovin' up and shake the room

What you want, you wanna be provin' something and to whom

What you want, you wanna be wonderin' where you your youth has gone

What you want, you wanna hold on

Hold on!

Oh-oh

151, still not Harvard material, once again, go!

Love! I'm doing this for love (What you want, you wanna be breathing in the healthy air)

And that's how I'll survive (What you want, you wanna be chasing him and he don't care)

(What you want, you wanna ignore the pity in their looks)

Here you go, I said no, go away! (What you want, you wanna say, "Sorry, gotta hit me books")

Right here is where I'll stay (What you want, you wanna be sittin' like a lonely child)

Until that happy day (What you want, you wanna be drivin' all the fellas wild)

That day I hear them say (What you want, you wanna be feelin' good to be alive)

175 (175)

175!

175, 175!

So, gentlemen

Harvard Law grants admission to Adam Cohen and Sundeep Padamadan (Outstanding)

And now, Ms. Elle Woods

Who was kind enough to send in a headshot

We should admit her, for reasons of, um multiculturalism

Multiculturalism!

Oh gentlemen, please, get a hold of yourselves

Oh, look at that! Oh, what a shame!

She didn't bother sending in a personal essay!

How's this for a personal essay?

What you want!

Goodness me!

What you want!

Security!

What you want is right in

Who are you?

I'm what you want, Harvard

I'm the girl for you!

And to prove it's true

We all flew here on Jet Blue

Thank you!

Thank you!

This is what Elle Woods inspires

Everyone admires her

And Harvard should too!

This is not a personal essay!

No! An essay's so boring and so much does not fit

So we're appearing live, right here

Making clear you must admit

That Elle Woods should join the chosen few

Harvard, what you want is right in front of

May I approach?

Uh-huh! Oh yeah! Go Elle!

Now see here, Ms. Woods

You can't just barge in here with singing and dancing and ethnic movement

This is a very flashy presentation, but I still don't see one reason to admit you

How about love?

You ever been in love?

'Cause if you have, you'll know

That love never accepts a defeat

No challenge it can't meet

No place it cannot go

Don't say no to a woman in love

Don't laugh when I say love

Don't think that I'm naïve

Because even a person who's smart

Can listen to their heart

Can listen and believe

So believe in what love can achieve

Do you believe? (I do!)

Do you believe? (Me too!)

Yes, we believe in love!

How 'bout you?

Welcome to Harvard!

What you want (Now we're set)

What you want (Let's go get)

What you want is right in front of you, front of you

What you want (Now we're done)

What you want (With step one)

What you want is right in front of you, front of you

What you want

What you want

What you want

What you want!
