Helpless Lyrics

Eliza:
Oh, I do I do I do I
Dooo! Hey
Oh, I do I do I do I
Dooo! Boy you got me

All women:
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

Eliza and women:
Helpless
Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em

Eliza:
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room
Then you walked in and my heart went "Boom!"
Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
Everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume

Eliza and women:
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine

Eliza:
Grab my sister, and
Whisper, "Yo, this
One's mine"

My sister made her way across the room to you
And I got nervous, thinking "What's she gonna do?"
She grabbed you by the arm, I'm thinkin' "I'm through"
Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm
Helpless

Oh, look at those eyes
Oh
Yeah, I'm
Helpless, I know
I'm so into you
I am so into you
I know I'm down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em

All women:
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Helpless
Look into your eyes
And the sky's the limit
I'm
Helpless
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em

I'm helpless

Look into your eyes
And the sky's the limit I'm helpless

Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em

Hamilton:
Where are you taking me?

Angelica:
I'm about to change your life

Hamilton:
Then by all means, lead the way

Eliza:
Elizabeth Schuyler. It's a pleasure to meet you

Hamilton:
Schuyler?

Angelica:
My sister

Eliza:
Thank you for all your service

Hamilton:
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it

Angelica:
I'll leave you to it

Eliza and women:
One week later

Eliza:
I'm writin' a letter nightly
Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me
Laughin' at my sister, 'cause she wants to form a harem

Angelica:
I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him

Eliza:
Ha!
Two weeks later
In the living room stressin'
My father's stone-faced
While you're asking for his blessin'
I'm dying inside, as
You wine and dine
And I'm tryin' not to cry
'Cause there's nothing that your mind can't do
My father makes his way across the room
To you
I panic for a second, thinking, "We're through"
But then he shakes your hand and says, "Be true"
And you turn back to me, smiling, and I'm
Helpless

Helpless
Hoo

That boy is mine
That boy is mine

Helpless! Helpless
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in em

All women:
Stressin'

Blessin'

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Helpless
Look into your eyes
And the sky's the
Limit I'm
Helpless
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em
I'm Helpless

Look into your eyes
And the sky's the
Limit I'm
Helpless
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in em

Hamilton:
Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name
An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame
All I have's my honor, a tolerance for pain
A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain
Insane, your family brings out a different side of me
Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me
No stress, my love for you is never in doubt
We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out
I've been livin' without a family since I was a child
My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild
But I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real
And long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to God
You'll never feel so...

Hamilton:
Eliza...
I've never felt so
My life is gon' be fine 'cause Eliza's in it

Eliza:
I do I do I do I do
I do I do I do I do
Hey, yeah, yeah
I'm down for the count
I'm
I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit
I'm ... drownin' in 'em

All women:
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless

Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em

Helpless
Helpless
Helpless

Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em

Wedding march plays

All women:
In New York, you can be a new man...
In New York, you can be a new man...
In New York, you can be a new man...

Eliza:
Helpless
