Helpless!
Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m helpless!
Down for the count, and I’m drownin’ in ‘em

[ELIZA]
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 dazzling the room
Then 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

[ELIZA AND WOMEN]
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine            [ELIZA]                          Grab my sister and                    whisper "Yo this                    one's mine."      [ALL WOMEN]                    Oooh              My sister made her way                    across the room to you      Oooh              And I got heated, thinking                    "What's she gonna do?"              Oooh                    She grabbed you by the arm                    I'm thinkin' "I'm through"              Oooh                    Then you look back at me                    and suddenly I'm                          Helpless!                                  Look at those eyes      Look into those eyes                             and the sky's the limit                    Oh! I'm      I'm                     Helpless              Helpless!                      I know            Down for the count                    And I'm drownin' in 'em                                        I'm helpless!                                  I'm so into you      Look into your eyes               I am so into you              and the sky's the limit I'm                          Helpless!                                  I know      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 honor, 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 that…                        [ALL WOMEN]                    [ELIZA]      Helpless!              [HAMILTON]              I do I do I do I do!
