Helpless, look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit

     E         A
I’m helpless, down for the count and I’m drowning in ‘em

E
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight

A
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night

E
Laughing at my sister as she’s dazzling the room

      A
Then you walked in and my heart went “Boom!”

E
Trying to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom

A
Everybody’s dancing and the band’s top volume

E
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine

         A
Grab my sister and whisper “Yo, this one’s mine.”

Ooh, my sister made her way across the room to you

                                              A
And I got nervous, thinking “What’s she gonna do?”

                                              B
She grabbed you by the arm, I’m thinking “I’m through”

 G                             E

     E
I am so into you

      A
I am so into you, I'm helpless                         (Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit)

  E                A
(I know) I'm down for the count, and I'm drowning in 'em

E
One week later, I’m writing a letter nightly

A
Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me

E
Laughing at my sister cause she wants to form a harem

E
Two weeks later in the living room stressin’

    A
My father’s stone faced while you’re asking for his blessin’

    E
I’m dying inside as you wine and dine

         A                                                           C#m

                                           E
My father makes his way across the room to you

                                     A
I panic for a second thinking “we’re through”

                                          B
But then he shakes your hand and says “Be true”

  G
 I'm                                               (I'm helpless)

Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em

An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame

All I have’s my honor, a tolerance for pain

   A
A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain

E
Insane, your family brings out a different side of me

A
Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me

E
No stress, my love for you is never in doubt
