Helpless

Maya: Ohh, I do I do I do I Dooo! Hey! Ohh, I do I do I do I Dooo! 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.

(Flashback to a party.)

Maya: 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 bestie 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. Grabbed my best friend, and whispered "Yo, this one's mine." (Oooh) My bestie made her way across the room to you. (Oooh) And I got nervous, thinking "What's she gonna do?" (Oooh) She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinkin' "I'm through" (Oooh) Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm Helpless! Look into your eyes, (Oh, look at those eyes, ) And the sky's the limit (Oh!) 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.) And the sky's the limit (into you.) I'm helpless! (I know, ) I'm down for the count And I'm drownin'in 'em.

TheyCallMeC03: Where are you taking me?

Thatgirlgammer100: I'm about to change your life.

Freeze: Then by all means, lead the way.

Maya: Maya Hope Amnestry. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Freeze: Maya?

Mary: My bestie.

Maya: Thank you for all your service!

Freeze: If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it.

Mary: I'll leave you to it.

Maya: One week later I'm writin' a letter nightly. Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me. Laughin' at Ms.Mary, cuz she wants to form a harem.

Mary: I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him.

Maya: Ha! Two weeks later In the living room stressin', my mother's stonefaced 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. (Oooh) My mother makes her way across the room to you. (Oooh) I panic for a second, thinking "we're through" (Oooh) But then she shakes your hand and says "Be true" (Oooh) And you turn back to me, smiling, and I'm 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! (he's 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.

Freeze: Ms. Maya, 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. Your mom confides in me, Your stepdad 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, Ms.Maya, swear to God, you'll never feel so (Helpless!)

Maya: I do I do I do I do! (F: Maya... (Helpless!) I do I do I do I do! (F: I've never felt so-) Helpless! (Hey! Yeah, yeah!) Down for the count and
I'm drownin' in 'em (Down for the count I'm) (F: My life is gon' be fine cuz Ms.Maya's in it.) I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm (Helpless!) Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em.

Ensemble: 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.

Maya: Helpless!
