*I don't own anything besides my own changes*
[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 Alexandra's by herself. I'll let her tell it
[HAMILTON]
I hadn't slept in a week
I was weak, I was awake
You never seen a bastard orphan
More in need of a break
Longing for Angelo
Missing my love
That's when Mr Mark Reynolds walked into my life, he said:
[MARK]
I know you are a girl 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...
[HAMILTON]
He said:
[MARK]
My wife's doin' me wrong
Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me...
Suddenly she's up and gone
I don't have the means to go on
[HAMILTON]
So I offered him a loan, I offered to walk him home, he said
[MARK]
You're too kind, ma'am
[HAMILTON]
I gave him thirty bucks that I had socked away
He lived a block away, he said:
[MARK]
This one's mine, ma'am
[HAMILTON]
Then I said, "well, I should head back home,"
He turned red, he led me to his bed
Let him legs spread and said:
[MARK]
Stay?
[HAMILTON]
Hey...
[MARK]
Hey...
[HAMILTON]
That's when I began to pray:
Lord, show me how to
Say no to this
I don't know how to
Say no to this
But my God, he looks so helpless
And his body's saying, "hell, yes"
[MARK]
Whoa...
[HAMILTON]
Nooo, show me how to
[HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE]
Say no to this
[HAMILTON]
I don't know how to
