Satisfied

Lyrics

Alright, alright
 That's what I'm talkin' about
 Now, everyone give it up for the maid of honor
 Angelica Schuyler
 A toast to the groom (to the groom, to the groom, to the groom)
 To the bride (to the bride, to the bride, to the bride)
 From your sister (Angelica, Angelica, Angelica)
 Who is always by your side (by your side, by your side)
 To your union (to the union, to the revolution)
 And the hope that you provide (you provide, you provide)
 May you always (always)
 Be satisfied (rewind)
 Rewind, rewind
 Helpless, sky's, sky's
 Drownin' in em
 Drownin', rewind
 I remember that night I just might (rewind)
 I remember that night I just might (rewind)
 I remember that night, I remember that–
 I remember that night, I just might regret that night for the rest of my days
 I remember those soldier boys tripping over themselves to win our praise
 I remember that dreamlike candlelight like a dream that you can't quite place
 But Alexander, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face
 I have never been the same
 Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
 And when you said "Hi", I forgot my dang name
 Set my heart aflame, every part aflame
 This is not a game
 You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied
 I'm sure I don't know what you mean, you forget yourself
 You're like me, I'm never satisfied
 Is that right?
 I've never been satisfied
 My name is Angelica Schuyler
 Alexander Hamilton
 Where's your family from?
 Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done
 But just you wait, just you wait
 So, so, so
 So this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level
 What the hell is the catch?
 It's the feeling of freedom, of seein' the light
 It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite
 You see it, right?
 The conversation lasted two minutes
 Maybe three minutes, everything we said in total agreement
 It's a dream, and it's a bit of a dance
 A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance
 He's a bit of a flirt, but I'ma give it a chance
 I asked about his family, did you see his answer?
 His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance
 He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants
 Handsome, boy, does he know it
 Peach fuzz, and he can't even grow it
 I wanna take him far away from this place
 Then I turn and see my sister's face, and she is...
 Helpless
 And I know she is
 Helpless
 And her eyes are just
 Helpless
 And I realize
 Three fundamental truths at the exact same time
 Where are you taking me?
 I'm about to change your life
 Then, by all means, lead the way
 Number one
 I'm a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich
 My father has no sons, so I'm the one who has to social climb for one
 So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York City is insidious
 And Alexander is penniless
 Ha! That doesn't mean I want him any less
 Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you
 Schuyler?
 My sister
 Number two
 He's after me 'cause I'm a Schuyler sister, that elevates his status
 I'd have to be naïve to set that aside
 Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza, now that's his bride
 Nice going, Angelica, he was right, you will never be satisfied
 Thank you for all your service
 If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
 I'll leave you to it
 Number three
 I know my sister like I know my own mind
 You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
 If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned, he'd be mine
 She would say, "I'm fine"
 She'd be lying
 But when I fantasize at night it's Alexander's eyes
 As I romanticize what might have been if I hadn't sized him up so quickly
 At least my dear Eliza's his wife
 At least I keep his eyes in my life
 
 To the groom (to the groom, to the groom, to the groom)
 To the bride (to the bride, to the bride, to the bride)
 From your sister (Angelica, Angelica, Angelica)
 Who is always by your side (by your side, by your side)
 To your union (to the union, to the revolution)
 And the hope that you provide (you provide, you provide)
 May you always (always)
 Be satisfied (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)
 And I know (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)
 She'll be happy as his bride (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)
 And I know (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)
 He will never be satisfied
 I will never be satisfied
