Helpless
[00:00.35] Ohh, I do I do I do I Dooo! Hey!
[00:05.60] Ohh, I do I do I do I Dooo! Boy, you got me
[00:11.87] Helpless!
[00:14.60] Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm
[00:17.61] helpless!
[00:20.85] Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in ‘em.
[00:23.60] I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight.
[00:26.85] We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
[00:30.10] laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room
[00:32.85] then you walked in and my heart went
[00:36.10] "Boom!"
[00:36.87] Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
[00:38.85] everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume.
[00:41.84] Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine.
[00:44.60] Grab my sister, and whisper
[00:46.34] "Yo, this one's mine." (Oooh)
[00:49.11] My sister made her way across the room to you (Oooh)
[00:52.10] and I got nervous, thinking
[00:53.85] "What's she gonna do?" (Oooh)
[00:55.35] She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinkin'
[00:57.35] "I'm through" (Oooh)
[00:58.35] Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm
[01:01.09] Helpless!
[01:02.13] Look into your eyes, (Oh, look at those eyes, )
[01:06.35] And the sky's the limit (Oh!)
[01:07.12] I'm helpless, (I know)
[01:09.89] Down for the count
[01:10.86] And I'm drownin' in ‘em.
[01:12.84] I'm helpless! (I'm so into you, )
[01:15.35] Look into your eyes, (I am so.)
[01:16.85] And the sky's the limit (into you.)
[01:18.61] I'm helpless! (I know, )
[01:21.35] I'm down for the count
[01:22.84] And I'm drownin'in ‘em.
[01:24.85] Where are you taking me?
[01:26.85] I'm about to change your life.
[01:28.35] Then by all means, lead the way.
[01:30.11] Elizabeth Schuyler. It's a pleasure to meet you.
[01:32.64] Schuyler?
[01:33.60] My sister.
[01:34.85] Thank you for all your service
[01:36.60] If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will
[01:39.34] have been worth it.
[01:40.09] I'll leave you to it.
[01:42.85] One week later
[01:44.10] I'm writin' a letter nightly.
[01:45.85] Now my life gets better
[01:47.10] every letter that you write me.
[01:48.59] Laughin' at my sister, cuz she wants to form a harem.
[01:51.60] I'm just sayin', if you really loved me
[01:53.60] you would share him.
[01:55.35] Ha! Two weeks later
[01:56.86] In the living room stressin'
[01:57.85] my father's stonefaced
[01:59.34] while you're asking for his blessin'.
[02:01.10] I'm dying inside, as you wine and dine
[02:03.61] and I'm tryin' not to cry, ‘cause
[02:05.85] there's nothing that your mind can't do. (Oooh)
[02:08.10] My father makes his way across the room to you. (Oooh)
[02:11.09] I panic for a second, thinking
[02:13.08] "we're through" (Oooh)
[02:14.36] But then he shakes your hand and says
[02:16.10] "Be true" (Oooh)
[02:17.38] And you turn back to me, smiling, and I'm
[02:19.09] Helpless!
[02:22.11] Look into your eyes
[02:23.85] and the sky's the limit I'm
[02:25.35] Helpless!
[02:29.35] Hoo! Down for the count
[02:31.85] and I'm drownin' in ‘em I'm
[02:33.35] helpless!
[02:34.10] he's mine, that boy is mine!
[02:41.35] Look into your eyes
[02:41.59] And the sky's the limit I'm
[02:42.36] Helpless! Helpless!
[02:42.83] Down for the count, and I'm drownin'in ‘em
[02:43.85] Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name
[02:46.34] an acre of land, a troop to command
[02:48.35] a dollop of fame.
[02:49.60] All I have's my honor, a tolerance for pain
[02:52.09] a couple of college credits and my top-notch brain.
[02:55.36] Insane, your family brings out a different side of me
[02:58.60] Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me
[03:01.60] no stress, my love for you is never in doubt.
[03:04.35] We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out.
[03:07.34] I've been livin' without a family since I was a child.
[03:10.60] My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild.
[03:13.36] But I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real
[03:16.60] and long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to God, you'll never feel so
[03:19.85] (Helpless!) I do I do I do I do!
[03:22.60] Eliza… (Helpless!)
[03:24.85] I do I do I do I do!
[03:26.11] I've never felt so-
[03:27.12] Helpless! (Hey! Yeah, yeah!)
[03:29.61] Down for the count and
[03:30.60] I'm drownin' in ‘em (Down for the count I'm)
[03:32.35] My life is gon' be fine cuz Eliza's in it.
[03:34.59] I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm (Helpless!)
[03:41.35] Down for the count
[03:42.60] and I'm drownin' in ‘em.
[03:50.10] In New York, you can be a new man.
[03:53.35] in New York, you can be a new man.
[03:56.34] In New York, you can be a new man.
[04:02.35] Helpless!
