...[Michael (All Women):]
Oh, I do I do I do I (Hey hey hey hey)
Dooo! Hey! (Hey hey hey hey)
Oh, I do I do I do I (Hey hey hey hey)
Dooo! Boy you got me (Hey hey hey)
[Michael and Women:]
Helpless!
Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit
I'm helpless!
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em
[Michael:]
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
[Michael and Women:]
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
[Michael, (All Women), Both:]
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 grabs 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! Yeah, I'm helpless, I know
(Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em)
(I'm helpless!)
I'm so into you, I am so into you
(Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit)
(I'm helpless!)
I know I'm down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
[Jeremiah Hamilton:]
Where are you taking me?
[Christine:]
I'm about to change your life
[Jeremiah Hamilton:]
Then by all means, lead the way
[Michael:]
Michael Schuyler
It's a pleasure to meet you
[Jeremiah Hamilton:]
Schuyler?
[Christine:]
My brother
[Michael:]
Thank you for all your service
[Jeremiah Hamilton:]
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
[Christine:]
I'll leave you to it
[Michael and Women:]
One week later
[Michael:]
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
[Christine:]
I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him
[Michael, (All Women), Both:]
Ha!
Two weeks later in the living room stressin'
My mother's stone-faced while you're asking for her 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 mother makes her way across the room to you (Ooh)
I panic for a second, thinking, "We're through" (Ooh)
But then she shakes your hand and says, "Be true" (Ooh)
And you turn back to me smiling, and I'm...
(Hey!)
Helpless!
(Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit)
I'm helpless, hoo
(Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em 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!
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
[Jeremiah Hamilton:]
Michael, 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
Chloe confides in me, Christine 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 mother left, my father died, I grew up buckwild
But I'll never forget my father's face, that was real
And long as I'm alive, oh Michael, swear to G*d
You'll never feel so...
[Jeremiah Hamilton (Michael) {All Women}, Both:]
{Helpless!} (I do I do I do I do!) Michael...
{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}
(Down for the count and I'm)
My life is gon' be fine 'cause Michael's in it {Helpless!}
(I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit)
{Helpless!}
(I'm) {Helpless!}
{Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em}

[All women:]
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
[Michael:]
Helpless
