Regrettes, The - Helpless Lyrics






I do I do I do I do
I do I do I do I do
I do I do I do I do
I do I do I do I do
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

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, "This one's mine."

My sister made her way across the room to you
And I got nervous, thinking "What's she gonna do?"
You grabbed her by the arm, I'm thinkin' "I'm through"
Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm
Helpless!

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

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

One week later
I'm writin' a letter nightly
Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me
Laughin' at my sister, cuz 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'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 I'm
Helpless!

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

I'm helpless!
That boy is mine
And the sky's the
Limit I'm
Yeah, I'm helpless
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in em

Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Yeah, I'm down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em
Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Helpless!
I do I do I do I do!
Helpless!
Yeah, I'm down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em

Helpless

    I was watching the bootleg and heard this and was like the regrettes would be good on this I HAD NO CLUE THIS EXISTED

  3. s.... k....

    _HOW AM I JUST FINDING THIS I LOVE THE REGRETTES_

  4. h.... w....

    i clearly remember my entire friend group deciding we hated it and then loved it in the span of a one-hour loop session and that's one of my best memories

  5. S.... A....

    This sounds like Hamilton is from a totally different decade.

  6. A.... t....

    Hamilton is overrated
    Fight me

  7. F.... B....

    Great song . I LOVE THE REGRETTES big time.

  8. J.... D....

    i don't even like hamilton but this is fucking AMAZING

  9. H.... W....

    You know, if I'm being entirely honest, I prefer this version over the original.

  10. C.... L....

    This played in my work and I was trying so hard to figure out where I knew it from until “my heart went BOOM” and I was like whAAT

  11. J.... ....

    I love this so much oh my god. I saw the regrettes back in March and I had no idea this existed

  12. C.... S....

    i love the overall aesthetic of both the song and the video. the grainy effect on the camera makes this so much better

  13. P.... L....

    I’m seeing you guys and I just found this... I LOVE HAMILTON

  14. J.... ....

    this slaps and anyone who says otherwise will be shipped to antarctica

  15. l.... s....

    I’m a huge fan of the regrettes and also a huge fan of Hamilton! I can’t believe this exists!! ❤️

  16. J.... ....

    I didn’t even know this was from Hamilton... we watched Hamilton in English and I was really confused 🥴

  17. H.... H....

  24. Y.... ....

    I love you all

  25. T.... ....

    Ooooo I really like this! Nice job!

  26. C.... ....

    This just further shows how, if you remove the spoken parts, the original version of this song could've easily been an ordinary song on the radio that stands entirely on its own (which I love about it btw).

  27. A.... J....

    coming back to this after hdyl :')

  28. A.... D....

    I can't believe it's been a year since I listened to this song for the first time. I really love this version :")

    Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm

    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.
    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, cuz 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'

    Look into your eyes
    And the sky's the limit I'm
    Helpless! Helpless!
    Down for the count, 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'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
    Peggy confides in me, Angelica 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, Eliza, swear to God, you'll never feel so
    (Helpless!) I do I do I do I do!
    Eliza… (Helpless!)
    I do I do I do I do!
    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)
    My life is gon' be fine cuz Eliza'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.
    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!

    “No stop! Ok how about Punk Rock artists?”

    “Eliza and Angelica Schuyler”

    “MOTHERFUCKER”

  65. y.... h....

    WHY DIDNT I KNOW ABOUT THIS SOONER WHATTHEHELL

  66. e.... ....

    our favs

  69. s.... s....

    This came on at the mall and-
    Let's just say I was prancing around the store I was in while my friends tried to calm me down

  70. a.... w....

    LOVETHISAH

  71. R.... M....

    Modernized AU I thought about this one


    Eliza is a nerdy or shy student at school in the morning. Just literally quiet, she is. But during the night she and her sisters hold a punk rock concert to some club every night, Schuyler Sisters lol. Then one night, Alex with his gang came to the club. Actually Alex is a super nerd geek at school so Eliza didn't really mind him that much. Burr is a metal head and helps Alex because he insisted to be a cool guy like him. The two friends along with Mulligan and Lafayette jammed to the rock songs. When it's the Schuyler Sisters song number, everyone went wild including Alex. Then Eliza fell to Alex in love with him lol. In the corner of the room Angelica is sulking because she had an eye on Alex first.


    Waiting for Satisfied Mixtape.

  72. p.... ....

    This is really good, how the heck I slept on this

  73. M.... B....

    I walked up to a Five Guys Burgers and Fries and this song was playing. Thought I was dreaming and had made up the whole day because I had no idea this cover existed and never expected to hear something like it at a Five Guys.

  74. N.... t....

    I saw a Hamilton Modern Highschool AU animation of this uwu

  75. J.... C....

    i dont like this version..but ok

  76. F.... V....

    Honestly, I didn't like it, but I'm not going to say the things some fans were saying like "This is not hamilton style" or "First burn is better" because I don't think anything like that, I just didn't like this version.

  77. T.... M....

    I heard this play at american eagle

  78. h.... r....

    It's kinda ironic that a band called the regrettes covered helpless when burn is like a few songs away

  79. v.... ....

    Well this was... odd, weird, and pretty damn good. I didn't think it would work... but it did.

  80. G.... ....

    I need more.

  81. K.... B....

    New fan for sure.

  82. B.... F....

    0:33-0:34 the bassist is adorable as hell. Just someone living her best life.

  83. t.... p....

    Lydia's voice always kills me

  84. M.... M....

    I have no *REGRETTES* clicking on this video!

  85. B.... B....

    Eliza straight up called dibs on his ass

  86. F.... T....

    This is wierd

  87. P.... ....

    Why was this made

  88. L.... D....

    This is a bop god dang

  89. A.... Z....

    I've only just found this ??? Speechless

  90. N.... G....

    Ok, this is new kind of rhythm

  91. E.... K....

    Wow! If they are going to conclude 'helpless' in Europe as twenty one pilots' support, I'll be freaking delighted and screaming af! I can't wait, omg, I've just met them and they're amazing, ahh!

  92. s.... ....

    Fuck hamildrops supposed to sound like hamilton style. This band made a Broadway song into a rock and roll jam—and it totally works! Have y'all never heard of "Pop Goes Punk"?

  93. M.... D....

    CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A FULL PUNK ROCK HAMILTON I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE

  94. E.... s....

    Que fomeeeee es mejor la original

  95. R.... K....
