Notes

[Laurens]
All right, all right, that's what I'm talking about!
Now, everyone give it up for the maid of honor, Angelica Schuyler!

[Angelica]
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)

[Laurens]
From your best friend
best (best)
friend (best friend)
Who is always by your side
By your side, by your side

[Angelica]
To your union
To the union! (To the union)
To the revolution!
And the hope that you provide
You provide
You provide
May you always
Always
Be satisfied

[Laurens]
Rewind
Satisfied
Rewind
Helpless
Rewind
Satisfied
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 us soldier boys
Tripping over ourselves to win those Schuyler Sisters 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 those words, I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame, ev'ry part aflame

This is not a game

[Hamilton]
You strike me, as a man who has never been satisfied

[Laurens]
And by that, what do you mean?
You forget yourself

[Hamilton]
You're like me, I'm never satisfied

[Laurens]
Oh?

[Hamilton]
I have never been satisfied

[Laurens]
The name's John Laurens

[Hamilton]
Alexander Hamilton...

[Laurens]
Where's your family from?

[Hamilton]
Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done
Just you wait, just you wait

[Laurens]
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 seeing 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'mma give it a chance
I asked about his fam'ly, 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 that Schuyler's face and she is

[Eliza]
Helpless!

[Angelica]
Satisfied!

[Laurens & Angelica]
And I know she is

[Eliza]
Helpless!

[Angelica]
Satisfied!

[Laurens & Angelica]
And her eyes are just

[Eliza]
Helpless!

[Angelica]
Satisfied!

[Laurens]
And I realize
Three fundamental truths at the exact same time

[Hamilton]
Where are you taking me?

[Angelica]
I'm about to change your life

{Music Pause}

[Laurens]
No...

[Hamilton]
Then by all means, lead the way

[Laurens]
Alexander...

[Hamilton, Eliza & Angelica]
Number one!

[Laurens]
I'm a man in a world in which
Homosexuality is a sin, I gotta hide
My father is homophobic and I don't wanna be the one
I don't wanna disappoint (disappoint)
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

[Eliza]
Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you

[Hamilton]
Schuyler?

[Angelica]
My sister!

[Laurens]
Alexander...

[Hamilton, Eliza & Angelica]
Number two!

[Laurens]
He's after her because she's a Schuyler sister
That elevates his status, I'd
Have to be naive to set that aside
Maybe that is why she introduced him to Eliza
Now that's his bride
Nice going Angelica, I was right, he'll never be satisfied

[Eliza]
Thank you for all your service

[Hamilton]
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it ([Laurens] Damn!)

[Angelica]
I'll leave you to it!

[Laurens]
Alexander! ([Hamilton] John)

[Hamilton, Eliza & Angelica]
Number three!

I know Alexander 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 she hadn't sized
Him up so quickly
At least that sweet Eliza's his wife
At least I keep his eyes in my life

[Angelica]
To the groom!
To the groom, to the groom
To the groom
To the bride!
To the bride
To the bride (to the bride)

[Laurens]
From your best friend
best (best)
friend (best friend)

[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
Satisfied, (satisfied), satisfied
And I know (be satisfied) ((be satisfied)) (be satisfied)
She'll be happy as his bride (satisfied, satisfied, satisfied)
And I know ((be satisfied)) (satisfied, satisfied, satisfied)
((be satisfied))

[Laurens]
I will never be satisfied
Alexander, god I hope you're satisfied
