helpless
Ooh, I do, I do, I do, I do
Hey! Ooh, I do, I do, I do, I do
Boy, you got me
chorus
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
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
Grab my sister and whisper
"Yo, this one's mine"
My sister made her way across the room to
And I got nervous thinking
"What's she gonna do?"
She grabs you by the arm
I'm thinkin', "I'm through"
Then you look back at me
And suddenly I'm
Oh, look at those eyes
I am so into you
I am so into you
Elizabeth Schuyler
It's a pleasure to meet you
Schuyler?
Thank you for all your service
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
Two weeks later
In the living room stressin'
My father's stone-faced
While you're asking 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
My father makes his way across the room to you
I panic for a second, thinking, "We're through"
But then he shakes your hand and says, "Be true"
And you turn back to me, smiling, and
Look into your eyes
I'm helpless
that boy is mine
That boy is mine
helpless
(I do, I do, I do, I do)
(I do, I do, I do, I do)
(yeah, yeah)
(down for the count, I'm-)
I look into your eyes
And the sky's the limit, I'm
Helpless
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
Helpless
