Burr: There's nothing like summer in the city.
Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty.
There's trouble in the air you can smell it.
And Alexanders by himself,
I'll let him tell it.
Alex: I hadn't slept in a week.
I was weak, I was awake.
You've never seem a bastard orphan more in need of a break.
Longing for Angelica.
Missing my wife.
That's when John Laurens walked back into my life.
Alex: He said-
John: I know you are a man of honor.
I'm so sorry to bother you at home.
But I don't know where to go and I came here all alone.
Alex: He said-
John: Alex you've been doing me wrong.
I was loving you, kissing you, now I'm missing you.
And finally I'm back in town.
And I knew I had to see you now.
Alex: So I spoke to him alone.
And he led me to his home.
He said-
John: I still care for you.
Alex: Over the next few days I had my heart locked away but he lived a block away.
He said-
John: And you still care too?
Alex: Then I said, "Well I should get back home,"
He turned red, he led me to his bed,
Let his legs spread and said-
John: Stay?
Alex: Hey...
John: Hey...
Alex: That's when I began to pray.
Lord I know I should say no to this,
But I don't know how to
Say no to him.
Alex: But my god he looks so helpless.
And his body's screaming "Hell yes!"
Alex: Whoa...
Alex: Nooo show me how to
Alex/Ensemble: Say no to this.
Alex: In my mind I know I should go.
Ensemble: Go! Go! Go!
Alex: Then his mouth is on mine and I don't wanna say
Ensemble: No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No!
Say no to this!
No!no!
Say no to this!
Alex: I wish I could say that was the last time.
I said that last time. It became a pastime.
A month into this end endeavor I received a letter
From a Mr. Henry Laurens, even better it said-
Henry: Dear sir I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me, down on their luck.
You see, that was my son who you decided to-
Alex: Fuuuu-
Henry: Uh-oh! You played poker with the wrong politician.
So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled.
And hey you can keep seeing my whore son
If the price is right; if not I'm telling your wife.
Alex: I hid the letter and I raced to his place.
Screamed "How could you?!" In his face
He said-
John: No, sir!
Alex: Half dressed, apologetic, a mess he looked pathetic,
He cried-
John: Please don't leave me!
Alex: So was it all just a set up?!
John: I don't know about any letter!
Alex: Stop crying!
Goddamnit, get up!
John: I didn't know this would happen!
Alex: I am ruined
John: Please don't leave me with him-
Alex: How could I do this?!
John: Let's just give him what he wants so we can have peace!
Alex: I shouldn't want you!
I shouldn't love you
I shouldn't-
John: If we pay we can stay.
Alex: Lord, shown me how to
Say no to this.
But I don't know how to say no to him.
And the situations helpless.
Alex: And our hearts are screaming, "Hell, yes!"
Alex: No, show me how to
Say no to this.
How can I
Say no to him?
There is nowhere we can go.
Alex: When his body's on mine
I don't wanna say...
Ensemble: No!
Alex: Yes!
John: Yes!
Alex: Yes!
John: Yes!
Alex: Yes!
John: Yes!
Alex: Yes!
John: Yes!
Alex: Say no to this.
I won't say no to him.
There is nowhere we can go.
Henry: So?
Alex: Nobody needs to know.
