Helpless - Ashanti, Ja Rule

Yeah

I like the way I came in

Rule

Ashanti

Lin

Baby, I’m helpless

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m

Helpless, baby

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

I ain’t ever been the type to try and grab the spotlight

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

Laughin' at my sister as she dazzling the room

Then you walked in and my heart said

Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom

Everybody’s dancin' and the bass top volume

Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine

Saying to myself, «Baby, this one’s mine.»

Shorty made her way across the room to you

And I got nervous, thinking «What's she gonna do?»

She grabbed you by the arm, I’m thinkin' «I'm through»

Then you look back at me and suddenly I’m

Helpless, yeah

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m

Helpless, baby

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

Helpless, yeah

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m

Helpless, baby

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 this girl, 'cause she wants to form a harem

Naw, I ain’t sharin'

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, yeah

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m

Helpless, baby

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

Helpless, yeah

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m

Helpless, (so helpless) baby

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

Ashanti, I ain’t got a dollar to my name

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

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

A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain

Insane, your family brings out a different side of me

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

No stress, my love for you is never in doubt

We’ll get a little place in Queens and we’ll figure it out

I’ve been living without my family since I was a child

My father died, my mama cried, I grew up buckwild

But I’ll never forget my mother’s face, that was real

And long as I’m alive, Ashanti, swear to God

You’ll never feel so… (Baby, I’m…)

Helpless, yeah

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m

Helpless, baby

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

Helpless, yeah (I'm so helpless)

Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m

(Cause you know that I’m)

Helpless, baby

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

Baby I’m

Yeah

Mm, so into you

So into you

Hahaha
