Lin-Manuel Miranda
Helpless
I do I do I do I do
I do I do I do I do
I do I do I do I do
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 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, “This one’s mine.”

My sister made her way across the room to you
And I got nervous, thinking “What’s she gonna do?”
You grabbed her by the arm, I’m thinkin’ “I’m through”
Then you look back at me and suddenly I’m
Helpless!

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

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
(I’m just sayin’, if you really loved me, you would share him)

Ha!
Two weeks later, in the living room stressin’
My father’s stone-faced while you’re asking for his 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
My father makes his way across the room to you
I panic for a second, thinking “we’re through”
But then he shakes your hand and says “be true”
And you turn back to me, smiling, and I’m

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’m helpless!
That boy is mine
And the sky’s the limit I’m
Yeah, I'm helpless
Down for the count
And I’m drownin’ in em
Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Yeah, I'm down for the count
And I’m drownin’ in ‘em
Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Helpless!
Yeah, I'm down for the count
And I’m drownin’ in ‘em
