lin-manuel miranda - say no to this (draft 11.7.13) lyrics

Loading...

[hamilton]
when i’m alone in my room
sometimes i stare at the wall
on this particular night
i felt my conscience stall
i heard a knock at the door
i knew it wasn’t my wife
and 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 pounds that i had socked away
she lived a block away, she said:

[maria]
go inside, 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

[hamilton/ensemble]
say no to this

[hamilton]
i don’t know how to

[hamilton/ensemble]
say no to this

[hamilton]
’cause my god, she looks so

[maria]
helpless

[hamilton]
and my body’s screaming, “h-ll, yes”

[ensemble]
no…

[hamilton]
oh show me how to

[hamilton/ensemble]
say 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! go!

[hamilton]
then her mouth is on mine, and i don’t say…
[ensemble]
nooooooo!

nooooooo!

nooooooo!

nooooooo!
[hamilton]
yes

yes

yes

yes

yes

yes

yes

yes

[maria]
yes!

yes!

yes!

yes!

[eliza]
now you got me
helpless!
i look into your eyes, and the
sky’s the
limit
i’m helpless!

i’m down
for the count
and i’m drownin’ in ‘em
[ensemble]
hey hey hey hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
hey hey
hey
hey
hey
hey

[angelica]
will he ever be satisfied?

i would never
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]
f-ck

[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 wh0r- wife
if the price is right; if not i’m telling

[james & ensemble]
your wife

[hamilton]
i burned the letter and i raced to her place
screamed “how could you?!” in her face
she said:

[maria]
no, sir!

[hamilton]
half dressed, she looked pathetic
a mess, apologetic, she cried:

[maria]
please don’t go, sir!

[hamilton]
so was this whole story a setup?

[maria]
i don’t know about any letter!

[hamilton]
stop crying
godd-mnit, get up!

[maria]
i didn’t know any better

[hamilton]
i am ruined…
[maria]
please don’t leave me
with him helpless

just give him what he wants
and you can
have me
whatever you want
if you pay
you can stay!
[hamilton]
i am helpless—
why would you do this?

i don’t want you
i don’t want you
i don’t want you
i don’t want you

[maria]
and i

helpless

yeah
whoa!

yes!

yes!

yes!

yes!

don’t say no to this [hamilton]
lord, show me how to
say no to this
i don’t know how to
say no to this
’cause the situation’s helpless

and her body’s screaming, “h-ll, yes”
lord, show me how to
say no to this
i don’t know how to
say no to this
there is nowhere i can go

when her body’s on mine, i cannot say

yes

yes

yes

yes

say no to this, i
don’t say no to
this
in my mind i’m tryin’ to go
[ensemble]
say no to this

say no to this

say no to this

say no to this

go! go! go! go!

nooooooo!

nooooooo!

nooooooo!

nooooooo!

no no no…

[james]

[hamilton]
n0body needs to know
