ELLE

Take back the books and pack up the clothes

Clear out the room and drop off the key

Leave with what's left of my dignity

Get in the car and just go


Chalk it all up to experience

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

That's fine with me

Just let me be

Legally Blonde


EMMETT

(spoken)There she is… intern of the year!


ELLE

Thanks for your help and for all you've done

Thank you for treating me decently


EMMETT

(spoken) What's wrong?


ELLE

Maybe someday you can visit me

Give me a call, say hello


EMMETT

Wait, where are you going?


ELLE

Sorry I'm letting down everyone


EMMETT

What brought on this?


ELLE

You did your best with a hopeless case


EMMETT

That's ludicrous


BOTH

You are the best thing about this place


EMMETT

Elle, you should know...


ELLE

(spoken) Callahan hit on me.


EMMETT

(spoken) He what?


ELLE

(spoken) He kissed me. He fired me…

There's no reason for me to stay.


EMMETT

What about love?

I never mentioned love

The timing's bad, I know

But perhaps if I made it more clear

That you belong right here

You wouldn't have to go

Cause you know that I'm so much in love...


ELLE

Back to the sun

Back to the shore

Back to what I was before


EMMETT

I should have told you before


ELLE

Lie on the beach

Dream within reach

Don't stray beyond


EMMETT

We both know you're worth so much more


ELLE

Some girls fight hard

Some face the trial

Some girls were just meant to smile


EMMETT

Is it too late? 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
