[HAMILTON/BURR/LAURENS/ALL WOMEN (EXCEPT ELIZA)]
Hey hey hey hey

"Oh, that was a good transition, you can barely tell it's a different song." Peggy remarked.


[ELIZA]
Ohh, I do I do I do I
Dooo! Hey!
Ohh, I do I do I do I
Dooo! Boy you got me [ALL WOMEN]
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

[ELIZA 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

It was then that Eliza realized what this song was going to be about and laid her head on her husband's shoulder with a smile.

[ELIZA]
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

"Yeah, I remember that, they were so loud you could barely hear a thing!" Angelica reminiced. 

[ELIZA AND WOMEN]
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
[ELIZA]
Grab my sister, and
Whisper, "Yo, this
One's mine."

"Did you really clam me like that?" Alexander asked 

"Yes..." Eliza said, blushing


My sister made her way across the room to you
And I got nervous, thinking "What's she gonna do?"
She grabbed you by the arm, I'm thinkin' "I'm through"

Suddenly Angelica tensed, would this song reveal her love for Alexander?


Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm
Helpless!

Oh, look at those eyes

"What's so special about my eyes?" Alex asked

"Well, your eyes are the most beautiful shade of violet, when you look into them you can see so much intelligence and hope." John said. "or that is what I think a woman would say about your eyes am I right?" he quickly added with a nervous laugh after seeing everyones raised eyebrows. 

Oh!
Yeah, I'm
Helpless, I know

With this line Angelica relaxed, maybe people in the future didn't know about it.


I'm so into you
I am so into you

I know I'm down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em.

[ALL WOMEN]
Oooh

Oooh

Oooh

Oooh

Helpless!

"You know, you weren't the only one who was helpless." Hercules said

"What do you mean?" Eliza asked

"The night he met you at that ball he was so in love that he forgot the password to get into headquarters!" Lafayette interrupted.

"Dear, is this true?" Eliza said with a giggle.

"Yes..." Alexander responded, blushing.

Look into your eyes
And the sky's the limit
I'm
Helpless!
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em
