Lyrics

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, hey) 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 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 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 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 (Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit) 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
