Satisfied
Renée Elise Goldsberry Lyrics

Alright, alright
I approve, I agree

That's what I'm talkin' about
That's exactly what I mean

Now, everyone, give it up for the maid of honor
Now, everyone, show your appreciation for the most important member of the wedding party

A toast to the groom (to the groom, to the groom, to the groom)
Let's raise our glasses and honor the groom

To the bride (to the bride, to the bride, to the bride)
Let's also raise our glasses and honor the bride

From your sister (Angelica, Angelica, Angelica)
From your loving sister, Angelica

Who is always by your side (by your side, by your side)
Who is always there to support you

To your union (to the union, to the revolution)
To the joining of your lives (also symbolizing the larger revolutionary cause)

And the hope that you provide (you provide, you provide)
And the optimism and inspiration you bring

May you always (always)
May you forever

Be satisfied (rewind)
Be content (let's reflect on the past)

Rewind, rewind
Let's go back in time

Helpless (sky's, sky's, sky's)
Overwhelmed, powerless (so many uncertainties)

Helpless
Overwhelmed, powerless

Drownin' in 'em, drownin'
Being consumed by those feelings, suffocated

I remember that night, I just might (rewind)
I can recall that particular night, maybe I can (in my reflection)

I remember that night, I just might (rewind)
I can recall that particular night, maybe I can (in my reflection)

I remember that night, I remember that
I can vividly remember that specific night

I remember that night, I just might
I can recall that particular night, maybe I can

Regret that night for the rest of my days
Feel remorse for that night for the remainder of my life

I remember those soldier boys
I can recall those young men in uniform

Tripping over themselves to win our praise
Fumbling, trying hard to earn our admiration

I remember that dreamlike candlelight
I can remember that surreal candlelit ambiance

Like a dream that you can't quite place
Similar to a dream you can't completely remember or fully understand

But Alexander, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face
But Alexander, I'll always remember the moment I first saw you

I have never been the same
I have fundamentally changed as a result

Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
Bright, perceptive eyes in a thin, hungry-looking face

And when you said, "Hi," I forgot my dang name
And when you greeted me with a simple "Hi," I was so captivated that I couldn't remember my own name

Set my heart aflame, every part aflame
Ignited a fire in my heart, consumed every inch of me

This is not a game
This is serious, not a mere dalliance

You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied
You give the impression of a woman who is eternally seeking fulfillment

I'm sure I don't know what you mean
I'm quite certain I don't understand your insinuation

You forget yourself
You're losing sight of who you really are

You're like me
You're similar to me

I'm never satisfied
I'm always longing for something more

Is that right?
Is that correct?

I have never been satisfied
I have never been content

My name is Angelica Schuyler
I am Angelica Schuyler

Alexander Hamilton
I am Alexander Hamilton

Where's your family from?
What is the origin of your family?

Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done but
Not relevant, there are countless things I still want to accomplish but

Just you wait, just you wait
You'll see, just wait and see

So, so, so
Well, well, well

So this is what it feels like to match wits
So this is what it's like to engage in an intellectual battle

With someone at your level! What the hell is the catch?
With someone who is equally as intelligent as you! What is the hidden agenda?

It's the feeling of freedom, of seein' the light
It's the sensation of liberation, of experiencing enlightenment

It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite
It's similar to Benjamin Franklin's experiment with a key and a kite

You see it, right?
Do you understand what I'm saying?

The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes
The discussion continued for a short amount of time, maybe two or three minutes

Ev'rything we said in total agreement
Everything we uttered was complete consensus

It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance
It's like a dream, and it involves a bit of a playful interaction

A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance
A somewhat deliberate pose, a certain attitude

He's a bit of a flirt, but I'm 'a give it a chance
He's a bit of a seducer, but I'm willing to take a risk

I asked about his fam'ly, did you see his answer?
I inquired about his family, did you notice his response?

His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance?
His hands became restless, he glanced to the side?

He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants
He's without money, he's living on luck and instinct

Handsome, boy, does he know it
Attractive, boy, and he's perfectly aware of it

Peach fuzz, and he can't even grow it
Just a slight layer of facial hair, and he can't even grow a proper beard

I wanna take him far away from this place
I desire to take him to a distant location, away from here

Then I turn and see my sister's face and she is
But then I turn and see my sister's expression, and she looks

Helpless
Overwhelmed, powerless

And I know she is
And I'm aware that she feels

Helpless
Overwhelmed, powerless

And her eyes are just
And her eyes reveal

Helpless
Overwhelmed, powerless

And I realize
And I come to understand

Three fundamental truths at the exact same time
Three essential truths simultaneously

Where are you taking me?
Where are you leading me?

I'm about to change your life
I'm going to revolutionize your existence

Then by all means, lead the way
In that case, go ahead and show me

Number one
Firstly

I'm a girl in a world in which
I'm a young woman living in a society where

My only job is to marry rich
My sole responsibility is to wed someone wealthy

My father has no sons, so I'm the one
My father doesn't have any sons, so I'm the one who carries the burden

Who has to social climb for one
Who must strive for social advancement

So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
Thus, I am the oldest sibling, the cleverest one, and the source of all the rumors in

New York City is insidious
New York City is full of sly, cunning individuals

And Alexander is penniless
And Alexander has no money

Ha! That doesn't mean I want him any less
Ha! That doesn't mean I desire him any less

Elizabeth Schuyler
I am Elizabeth Schuyler

It's a pleasure to meet you
I'm pleased to make your acquaintance

Schuyler?
A Schuyler?

My sister
She's my sister

Number two
Secondly

He's after me 'cause I'm a Schuyler sister
He's pursuing me because I'm a Schuyler sister

That elevates his status, I'd
That raises his social standing, I would

Have to be naive to set that aside
Have to be gullible to ignore that fact

Maybe that is why
Perhaps that's why

I introduce him to Eliza
I introduce him to Eliza

Now that's his bride
Now she becomes his wife

Nice going, Angelica, he was right
Well done, Angelica, he was correct

You will never be satisfied
You will never be content

Thank you for all your service
I appreciate all that you've done

If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
If it requires going to war for us to meet each other, then it will have been worthwhile

I'll leave you to it
I'll let you continue with your arrangements

Number three
Lastly

I know my sister like I know my own mind
I understand my sister as well as I understand my own thoughts

You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
You will never encounter someone as trusting or as compassionate as her

If I tell her that I love him, she'd be silently resigned
If I confess my love for him, she would quietly accept it

He'd be mine
He would become mine

She would say, "I'm fine"
She would respond with, "I'm okay"

She'd be lying
But she would be lying

But when I fantasize at night
But when I daydream at night

It's Alexander's eyes
It's the gaze of Alexander

As I romanticize what might have been
As I imagine a more idealized version of what could have happened

If I hadn't sized him up so quickly
If I hadn't formed an opinion of him so quickly

At least my dear Eliza's his wife
At least my beloved Eliza is his wife

At least I keep his eyes in my life
At least I have his gaze as a part of my life

And I know (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)
And I'm aware (be content, be content, be content)

She'll be happy as his bride
She will find joy in being his wife

And I know
And I'm aware

He will never be satisfied
He will never be content

I will never be satisfied
I will never be content
