[HAMILTON] When I’m alone in my room, sometimes I stare at the wall On this particular night I felt my conscious stall I heard a knock on the door, I knew it wasn't my wife That’s when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life She said:
[MARIA] I know you are a man of honor I’m so sorry to bother you at home But I don’t know where to go, and I came here all alone…
[HAMILTON] She said:
[MARIA] My husband’s doin’ me wrong Beatin’ me, cheatin’ me, mistreatin’ me... Suddenly he’s up and gone I don’t have the means to go on
[HAMILTON] So I offered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she said
[MARIA] You’re too kind, sir
[HAMILTON] I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away She lived a block away, she said:
[MARIA] This one’s mine, sir
[HAMILTON] Then I said, “well, I should head back home,” She turned red, she led me to her bed Let her legs spread and said:
[MARIA] Stay?
[HAMILTON] Hey…
[MARIA] Hey…
[HAMILTON] That’s when I began to pray: Lord, show me how to Say
[HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE] No to this
[HAMILTON] I don’t know how to
[HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE] Say no to this
But my God, she looks so helpless And her body’s screaming, “hell, yes”
[MARIA] Whoa...
[HAMILTON] Oh show me how to say
[HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE] No to this
[HAMILTON] I don’t know how to
[HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE] Say no to this
[HAMILTON] In my mind, I’m tryin’ to go
[ENSEMBLE] Go! Go! Go!
[HAMILTON] Then her mouth is on mine, and I don’t say…
[ENSEMBLE] Nooooooo! Nooooooo!
[HAMILTON] Yes
[MARIA] Yes
[HAMILTON] Yes
[ENSEMBLE] Nooooooo!
[HAMILTON] Yes
[MARIA] Yes
[HAMILTON] Yes
[ENSEMBLE] Nooooooo!
[HAMILTON] Yes
[MARIA] Yes!
[ELIZA (ENSEMBLE)/ANGELICA] Helpless! (Hey hey hey hey) I look into your eyes (Hey hey) And the sky’s the limit (Hey hey) I’m helpless! (Hey hey hey hey) Will he ever be satisfied? Down for the count, /He will and I’m /never drownin’ in ‘em /be satisfied
[HAMILTON] I wish I could say that was the last time I said that last time. It became a pastime A month into this endeavor I received a letter From a Mr. James Reynolds, even better, it said:
[JAMES] Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck You see, that was my wife who you decided to
[HAMILTON] Fuck!
[JAMES] Uh-oh! You made the wrong would-be sucker a cuckold So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled And hey, you can keep seein’ my whore wife If the price is right: if not I’m telling your wife
[HAMILTON] I hid the letter and I raced to her place Screamed “How could you?!” in her face She said:
[MARIA] No, sir!
[HAMILTON] Half dressed, apologetic. A mess, she looked Pathetic, she cried:
[MARIA] Please don’t go, sir!
[HAMILTON] So was your whole story a setup?
[MARIA] I don’t know about any letter!
[HAMILTON] Stop crying Goddamnit, get up!
[MARIA] I didn’t know any better
[HAMILTON] I am ruined...
[MARIA/HAMILTON] Please don’t leave me with him helpless/I am helpless —how could you do this!? Just give him what he wants and you can have me/I don’t want you Whatever you want,/I don’t want you If you pay/ I don’t want you You can stay
[HAMILTON] Lord, show me how to
[HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE] Say no to this
[MARIA] And I
[ENSEMBLE] Say no to this
[HAMILTON] Cuz the situation’s helpless
[MARIA] Helpless
[HAMILTON] And her body’s screaming, “Hell, yes”
[MARIA] Whoa!
[HAMILTON] Lord show me how to say
[HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE] No to this
[HAMILTON/MARIA] How can I say no to this?
[HAMILTON] There is nowhere I can go
[ENSEMBLE] Go! Go! Go!
[HAMILTON] When her body’s on mine I do not say…
