Helpless
[ELIZA]
Ooh! I do, I do, I do, I do! Hey! Ooh! I do, I do, I do, I do! Boy you got me...
[COMPANY]
Helpless!
[ELIZA]
Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit, I'm...
[COMPANY]
Helpless!
[ELIZA]
Down for the count and I'm drowning in 'em...
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight. We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night. Laughing at my sister as she's dazzling the room, and 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. Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine. Grab my sister and whisper, "Yo, this one's mine!"
[COMPANY]
Ooh!
[ELIZA]
My sister makes her way across the room to you.
[COMPANY]
Ooh!
[ELZIA]
I get nervous, thinkin', "What's she gonna do?" She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinkin' "I'm through!" Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm...
[COMPANY]
Helpless!
Look into your eyes
[ELIZA]
Oh, look at those eyes!
[COMPANY]
And the sky's the limit
[ELIZA]
Oh!
[COMPANY]
I'm helpless!
[ELIZA]
I know...
[COMPANY]
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em! I'm helpless!
[ELIZA]
I'm so into you...
[COMPANY]
Look into your eyes
[ELIZA]
I am so into you!
[COMPANY]
And the sky's the limit!
I'm helpless!
[ELIZA]
I know...
[COMPANY]
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]
One week later, I'm writin' a letter nightly. Now my life gets better every time 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 'em!
[ELIZA]
Ha!
Two weeks later, in the living room stressin'! My father's stonefaced while you're asking for his blessin'. I'm dyin' inside as you wine and dine, and I'm tryin' not to cry because there's nothing that your mind can't...
[COMPANY]
Do!
[ELIZA]
My father makes his way across the room to you...
[COMPANY]
Ooh!
[ELIZA]
I panic for a second, thinkin', "We're through!" But then, he shakes your hand and says, "Be true." And you look back to me, smiling, and... I... Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit. I'm helpless!
[HAMILTON]
Woo!
[ELIZA/COMPANY]
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em! I'm helpless! He's mine! That boy is mine! 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 honour, 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 buck wild! But, I'll never forget my mother's face, it was real. As long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to God, you'll never feel so...
[ELIZA]
I do, I do, I do, I do!
[HAMILTON]
Eliza.
[COMPANY]
Helpless!
[ELIZA]
I do, I do, I do, I do!
[HAMILTON]
I've never felt so--
[COMPANY]
Helpless!
[ELIZA]
Hey! Yeah, yeah!
[COMPANY]
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em!
[HAMILTON]
My life is gon' be fine, cuz Eliza's in it!
[ELIZA]
I look into your eyes and the sky's the limit!
[COMPANY]
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em!
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...
