Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I do, I do, I do, I do (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I do, I do, I do, I do (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I do, I do, I do, I do (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I do, I do, I do, I do (Hey, hey, hey)
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 dazzlin' in the room
Then you walked in and my heart went, boom
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
(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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Two weeks later in the livin' room stressin'
My father's stone-faced while you're askin' for his blessin'
I'm dyin' inside as you wine and dine
And I'm tryin' not to cry 'cause there's nothin' that your mind can't do
[Verse 10]
My father makes his way across the room to you
I panic for a second, thinkin' we're through
But then he shakes your hand and says, be true
And you turn back at me and smiled
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
I'm helpless
That boy is mine (Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit)
And I'm helpless
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
[Verse 13]
(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
[Verse 14]
Helpless
