OOH... I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO...
HEY
OOH... I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO...
BOY, YOU GOT ME 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 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 DAZZLIN' THE ROOM
THEN YOU WALKED IN
AND MY HEART WENT BOOM
TRY'NA 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
MY SISTER MADE HER WAY
ACROSS THE ROOM TO YOU
AND I GOT 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 HELPLESS
OH, LOOK AT THOSE EYES, OH...
I'M HELPLESS
YES, I... KNOW
I'M SO INTO YOU
I AM SO INTO YOU
I'M HELPLESS
I KNOW I'M
DOWN FOR THE COUNT
AND I'M DROWNIN' IN 'EM
Spoken...
WHERE ARE YOU TAKIN' ME
I'M ABOUT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
THEN BY ALL MEANS
LEAD THE WAY
ELIZABETH SCHUYLER
IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU
SCHUYLER
MY SISTER
THANK YOU FOR
ALL YOUR SERVICE
IF IT TAKES FIGHTIN' A WAR
FOR US TO MEET
IT WILL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT
I'LL LEAVE YOU TO IT
Resume Singing...
ONE WEEK LATER
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
HA!
TWO WEEKS LATER
IN THE LIVIN' ROOM STRESSIN'
MY FATHER'S STONE-FACED
WHILE YOU'RE ASKIN'
FOR HIS BLESSIN'
I'M DYIN' INSIDE
AS YOU WINE AND DINE
AND I'M TRYIN' NOT TO CRY
'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHIN'
THAT YOUR MIND CAN'T DO
MY FATHER MAKES HIS WAY
ACROSS THE ROOM TO YOU
I PANIC FOR A SECOND
THINKIN' WE'RE THROUGH
BUT THEN HE SHAKES YOUR HAND
AND SAYS, BE TRUE
AND YOU TURN BACK TO ME
SMILIN'.....
HEY...
WOO...
HE'S MINE, THAT BOY IS MINE...
HELPLESS
DOWN FOR THE COUNT
AND I'M DROWNIN' IN 'EM
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 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
I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO...
ELIZA
I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO...
I'VE NEVER FELT SO...
YEAH... YES...
AND I'M DOWN FOR THE COUNT
I'M...
YO! MY LIFE IS GON' BE FINE
'CAUSE ELIZA'S IN IT
I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
AND THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
I'M.....
IN NEW YORK
YOU CAN BE A NEW MAN
IN NEW YORK
YOU CAN BE A NEW MAN
HELPLESS...
