Ohh I do I do I do I
Hey hey hey hey
Dooo Hey
Hey hey hey hey
Ohh I do I do I do I
Hey hey hey hey
Dooo Boy you got me
Hey hey hey hey
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 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
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
Grab my sister and whisper "Yo this one's mine"
Ooh
My sister made her way across the room to you
Ooh
And I got nervous thinking "What's she gonna do"
Ooh
She grabbed you by the arm I'm thinkin' "I'm through"
Ooh
Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm
Helpless
Oh look at those eyes
Look into your eyes
And the sky's the limit
Oh
I'm helpless
Yeah I'm 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 I'm down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
Where are you taking 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 fighting a war for us to meet
It will have been worth it
I'll leave you to it
One week later
I'm writin' a letter nightly
Now my life gets better every letter that you write me
Laughin' at my sister cuz she wants to form a harem
I'm just sayin' if you really loved me you would share him
Ha
Two weeks later in the living room stressin'
stressin'
My father's stone-faced while you're asking for his blessin'
blessin'
I'm dying inside as you wine and dine
And I'm tryin' not to cry 'cause there's nothing that your mind can't do
Ooh
My father makes his way across the room to you
Ooh
I panic for a second thinking "we're through"
Ooh
But then he shakes your hand and says "Be true"
Ooh
And you turn back to me smiling and I'm
Helpless
Helpless
Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit
I'm helpless
Helpless
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
Hoo
I'm helpless
That boy is mine that boy is mine
Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit
I'm helpless
Helpless helpless
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
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 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 so
Helpless
I do I do I do I do
Eliza
Helpless
I do I do I do I do
I've never felt so
Helpless
Hey yeah yeah
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
I'm down for the count I'm
Helpless
My life is gon' be fine 'cause Eliza's in it
Helpless
I look into your eyes and the sky's the limit I'm
Helpless
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
Drownin' in 'em
In New York you can be a new man
In New York you can be a new man
In New York you can be a new man
Helpless
