No Good Deed Lyrics

ELPHABA
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed.
My road of good intentions
led where such roads always lead.
No good deed
goes unpunished...

Nessa...
Doctor Dillamond...
Fiyero...
Fiyero!

One question haunts and hurts,
too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
when looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are,
maybe that's the reason why...

No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well
Well, look at what well-meant did...
All right, enough, so be it!
So be it then...
Let all Oz be agreed:
I'm wicked through and through;
since I cannot succeed,
Fiyero, saving you,
I promise no good deed
will I attempt to do
again,
ever again...
No good deed
will I do
again!
