"I am so much better than before"

Can I just say how much I love the Legally Blonde: The Musical soundtrack?  This may sound cheesy, but it's kind of inspirational, particularly "So Much Better," when Elle gets the internship and realizes that she's more than just the blonde sorority girl that Warner dumped.  I sort of feel like that right now, so I love the pride she feels in herself and the bit of healthy revenge she has toward Warner and Vivian.  This soundtrack is the only CD that I can handle listening to right now.  I don't even want to listen to break up songs, which I normally love!  Oh well, here is my favorite song of the moment:

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
Wasn't working for you
But looks like I found a cure
And I so look forward to working with you

Hey remember when we spent spring break
In the hot tub every night
You said nothing else
Would ever feel so right
Well this might!

Seeing my name up on that list
That beats the first time that we kissed
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

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 my name up on that list
Kind of a cool ironic twist
Who else can I tell?
Ooh wait, where's my cell?
Mom will fall on the floor

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
And we will see who walks the walk
No no I can't wait
I will be there at eight
When they unlock the door
Oh oh!
I'll even dress in black and white
You see I have not begun to fight
And you'll go OH much better
Hello, much better
And soon all y'all gonna know much better

I am so much better
I am so much better
I am so much better than before!
