Helpless (feat. Ja Rule)

Yeah, like the way I came in

Rule, Ashanti, Lin

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

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 dazzlin' the room

Then you walked in and my heart sang

Tryna catch your eye from the side of the ballroom

Everybody dancin' and the bass top volume

Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine

Sayin' to myself, baby, "This one's mine"

Shorty made her way across the room to you

And I got nervous, thinking, "What she gon' do?"

She grabbed you by the arm, I'm thinking 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

Creepin' at this girl 'cause she wants to form a harem

No, I ain't sharin'

Two weeks later, in the living room, stressin'

A father's stone-faced while you're askin' for his blessin'

I'm dyin' inside as you wine and dine

And I'm tryin' not to cry 'cause there's nothing that your mind can't do

A 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, I'm

Helpless, yeah

Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit, I'm (I'm so helpless)

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 (So helpless)

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

Yeah

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

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

All I have is 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 livin' without my family since I was a child

My father died, my mama cried, I grew up buck wild

But I'll never forget my mother's face, it was real

As 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, babe)

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

Helpless, baby

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

Baby, I'm, mmm, so into you, mmm

Yeah, so into you
