(Ooh) She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinking I'm through (ooh) Then you look back at me, and suddenly I'm helpless Oh, look at those eyes, oh (look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit) I'm helpless, I know Down for the count, and I'm drowning in 'em (Helpless) I am so into you (Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit) I am so into you I'm helpless (I know) I'm down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em Where are you taking me? I'm about to change your life Then by all means, lead the way Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you Schuyler? (My sister) Thank you for all your service If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it I'll leave you to it One week later, 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 I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him (ha) Two weeks later, in the living room stressin' My father's stone-faced while you ask him for his 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 father makes his way across the room to you (ooh) I panic for a second, thinking we're through (ooh) But then he shakes your hand and says, "Be true" (ooh) And you turn back to me smiling I'm helpless (Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit) I'm helpless (helpless) Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em (whoo!) Helpless (that boy is mine, that boy is mine, ooh) Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless (helpless) (whoo) Down for the count (yeah), and I'm drownin' in 'em Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame All I have is 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 Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me No stress, my love for you was 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 buck wild But, I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real As long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to god you'll never feel so I do, I do, I do Eliza (helpless) (I do, I do, I do) I never felt so (helpless) Yeah, yeah Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em (down for a count, and I'm-) Helpless (yo, my life is gon' be fine 'cause Eliza's in it) Helpless (I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit, I'm) Helpless (Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em) 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 (helpless)
