Hey hey hey hey (ohh, I do I do I do I)
2
Dooo Hey (ohh, I do I do I do I)
3
Boy you got me
4
Helpless
5
Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless
6
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em
7
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
8
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
9
Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room
10
Then you walked in and my heart went boom
11
Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
12
Everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume
13
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
14
Grab my sister, and
15
Whisper, yo, this one's mine
16
My sister made her way across the room to you (ooh)
17
And I got nervous, thinking what's she gonna do? (ooh)
18
She grabbed you by the arm, I'm thinkin' I'm through (ooh)
19
Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm (ooh)
20
Helpless
21
Oh, look at those eyes
22
Look into your eyes
23
And the sky's the limit
24
I'm helpless
25
Down for the count
26
And I'm drownin' in 'em
27
I'm helpless
28
Look into your eyes
29
And the sky's the limit I'm helpless
30
Down for the count
31
And I'm drownin' in 'em
32
Where are you taking me?
33
I'm about to change your life
34
Then by all means, lead the way
35
Elizabeth Schuyler
36
It's a pleasure to meet you
37
Schuyler?
38
My sister
39
Thank you for all your service
40
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
41
I'll leave you to it
42
One week later
43
I'm writin' a letter nightly
44
Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me
45
Laughin' at my sister, 'cause she wants to form a harem
46
I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him
47
Ha
48
Two weeks later
49
In the living room stressin'
50
My father's stone-faced
51
While you're asking for his blessin'
52
I'm dying inside, as
53
You wine
54
And dine
55
And I'm tryin' not to cry
56
'Cause there's nothing that your mind can't do
57
My father makes his way across the room
58
To you (ooh)
59
I panic for a second, thinking
60
We're through (ooh)
61
But then he shakes your hand and says
62
Be true (ooh)
63
And you turn back to me, smiling, and I'm
64
Helpless
65
Look into your eyes
66
And the sky's the
67
Limit I'm
68
Helpless
69
Down for the count
70
And I'm drownin' in 'em
71
I'm helpless
72
Look into your eyes
73
And the sky's the
74
Limit I'm
75
Helpless
76
Down for the count
77
And I'm drownin' in 'em
78
Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name
79
An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame
80
All I have's my honor, a tolerance for pain
81
A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain
82
Insane, your family brings out a different side of me
83
Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me
84
No stress, my love for you is never in doubt
85
We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out
86
I've been livin' without a family since I was a child
87
My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild
88
But I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real
89
And long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to God
90
You'll never feel so
91
Eliza
92
I've never felt so
93
My life is gon' be fine 'cause Eliza's in it
94
I do I do I do I do
95
Down for the count
96
And I'm drownin' in 'em
97
In New York, you can be a new man
98
In New York, you can be a new man
99
In New York, you can be a new man
