_Helpless_ from HAMILTON
[00:00.70] ELIZA
[00:00.96] Ohh, I do I do I do I
[00:02.98] Dooo! Hey!
[00:05.74] Ohh, I do I do I do I
[00:09.25] Dooo! Boy you got me
[00:11.75] ELIZA AND WOMEN
[00:12.01] Helpless!
[00:14.77] Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m helpless!
[00:20.80] Down for the count, and I’m drownin’ in ‘em.
[00:23.85] ELIZA
[00:24.10] I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight.
[00:27.11] We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night,
[00:29.88] laughin’ at my sister as she’s dazzling the room
[00:32.63] then you walked in and my heart went “Boom!”
[00:36.17] Tryin’ to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom,
[00:39.20] everybody’s dancin’ and the band’s top volume.
[00:41.96] ELIZA AND WOMEN
[00:42.21] Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine.
[00:44.76] ELIZA
[00:44.76] Grab my sister, and
[00:45.78] whisper, “Yo, this
[00:47.30] one’s mine.”
[00:49.34] My sister made her way across the room to you
[00:52.10] and I got nervous, thinking “What’s she gonna do?”
[00:55.62] She grabbed you by the arm, I’m thinkin’ “I’m through”
[00:58.39] Then you look back at me and suddenly I’m
[01:00.39] Helpless!
[01:02.40] Oh, look at those eyes,
[01:03.43] ALL WOMEN
[01:03.68] Look into your eyes,
[01:04.70] And the sky’s the limit
[01:06.46] ELIZA
[01:06.96] I’m helpless, I know
[01:09.47] ALL WOMEN
[01:09.99] Down for the count,
[01:10.50] And I’m drownin’ in ‘em.
[01:12.79] ELIZA
[01:13.79] I’m so into you,
[01:16.29] I am so into you.
[01:21.07] I know I’m down for the count
[01:22.83] And I’m drownin’ in ‘em.
[01:24.34] HAMILTON
[01:24.85] Where are you taking me?
[01:26.11] ANGELICA
[01:26.36] I’m about to change your life.
[01:28.14] HAMILTON
[01:28.39] Then by all means, lead the way.
[01:29.66] ELIZA
[01:30.66] Elizabeth Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
[01:32.69] HAMILTON
[01:32.97] Schuyler?
[01:33.43] ANGELICA
[01:33.68] My sister.
[01:35.19] ELIZA
[01:35.45] Thank you for all your service.
[01:36.47] HAMILTON
[01:36.99] If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it.
[01:39.69] ANGELICA
[01:40.19] I’ll leave you to it.
[01:41.70] ELIZA AND WOMEN
[01:42.95] One week later
[01:43.98] ELIZA
[01:44.22] I’m writin’ a letter nightly.
[01:46.21] Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me.
[01:48.98] Laughin’ at my sister, cuz she wants to form a harem.
[01:51.75] ANGELICA
[01:52.00] I’m just sayin’, if you really loved me, you would share him.
[01:54.52] ELIZA
[01:55.02] Ha!
[01:55.27] Two weeks later,
[01:56.28] In the living room stressin’
[01:58.06] My father’s stone-faced
[01:59.59] while you’re asking for his blessin’.
[02:01.09] I’m dying inside, as
[02:02.60] you wine
[02:03.60] and dine
[02:04.10] and I’m tryin’ not to cry,
[02:05.37] ‘cause there’s nothing that your mind can’t do.
[02:08.64] My father makes his way across the room
[02:10.16] to you.
[02:11.42] I panic for a second, thinking,
[02:13.18] “we’re through”
[02:14.44] But then he shakes your hand and says,
[02:15.94] “Be true”
[02:17.22] And you turn back to me, smiling, and I’m
[02:19.49] Helpless!
[02:20.01] ALL WOMEN
[02:20.26] Helpless!
[02:22.53] Look into your eyes,
[02:23.79] and the sky’s the
[02:24.79] limit I’m
[02:25.29] Helpless!
[02:28.58] Down for the count,
[02:29.59] and I’m drownin’ in
[02:30.87] ‘em I’m
[02:31.62] helpless!
[02:32.63] ELIZA
[02:32.88] That boy is mine,
[02:33.66] that boy is mine!
[02:34.91] ALL WOMEN
[02:35.16] Look into your eyes,
[02:35.67] and the sky’s the
[02:37.17] limit I’m
[02:38.45] Helpless!
[02:40.48] Down for the count,
[02:41.74] and I’m drownin’ in
[02:43.00] ‘em I’m
[02:43.27] helpless!
[02:43.52] HAMILTON
[02:43.78] Eliza, I don’t have a dollar to my name,
[02:46.28] an acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame.
[02:49.79] All I have’s my honor, a tolerance for pain,
[02:52.83] a couple of college credits and my top-notch brain.
[02:55.85] Insane, your family brings out a different side of me,
[02:59.13] Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me,
[03:01.89] no stress, my love for you is never in doubt.
[03:04.66] We’ll get a little place in Harlem and we’ll figure it out.
[03:07.67] I’ve been livin’ without a family since I was a child.
[03:10.70] My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild.
[03:13.74] But I’ll never forget my mother’s face, that was real,
[03:16.49] and long as I’m alive, Eliza, swear to God,
[03:19.01] you’ll never feel so…
[03:20.05] ALL WOMEN

[03:23.06] HAMILTON
[03:23.31] Eliza…
[03:23.58] ELIZA
[03:23.83] I do I do I do I do!
[03:25.35] HAMILTON
[03:25.60] I’ve never felt so—
[03:26.12] ALL WOMEN

[03:28.35] ELIZA

[03:31.39] and I’m drownin’ in ‘em
[03:32.14] HAMILTON
[03:32.64] My life is gon’ be fine cuz Eliza’s in it.
[03:34.89] ELIZA
[03:35.39] I look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit
[03:38.16] I’m
[03:40.95] ALL WOMEN
[03:41.46] down for the count,
[03:42.71] and I’m drownin’ in ‘em
