Helpless
The Regrettes Lyrics

I do I do I do I do
I am completely and wholeheartedly committed to this relationship

Boy, you got me
I am under your spell

Helpless
I feel powerless and unable to resist your charm

Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit
When I gaze into your eyes, I feel endless possibilities and potential

I'm helpless
I am completely at your mercy and cannot control my feelings

Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em
I am defeated and overwhelmed by my emotions for you

I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
I'm not usually one to seek attention or be in the center of attention

We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
We were at a lively event with unconventional and rebellious individuals on a passionate evening

Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzlin' the room
I was amused by my sister's captivating presence that caught everyone's attention

Then you walked in and my heart went 'Boom'
However, when you entered the room, my heart skipped a beat and I was instantly infatuated

Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
I made attempts to get your attention discreetly from afar

Everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume
The entire crowd is dancing energetically while the band plays at its loudest

Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
We dance closely and effortlessly to the music while enjoying a luxurious and indulgent experience

Grab my sister, and whisper, 'This one's mine'
I seized the moment to claim you as mine by discreetly informing my sister of my intentions

My sister made her way across the room to you
My sister approached you, moving confidently through the crowd

And I got nervous, thinking, 'What's she gonna do?'
I started feeling anxious, wondering about her intentions toward you

You grabbed her by the arm, I'm thinkin', 'I'm through'
To my surprise, you took hold of her arm, leading me to believe that I had lost my chance with you

Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm
But then you unexpectedly turned your gaze back to me, and I instantly returned to a state of infatuation

One week later
Time passes, specifically after a week

I'm writin' a letter nightly
I find myself writing a letter to you every night

Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me
Each letter you write to me brings positivity and improvement into my life

Laughin' at my sister, 'cause she wants to form a harem
I find amusement in my sister's desire to have a group of suitors

'I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him'
In a playful tone, I joke that if you genuinely loved me, you would be willing to share your affection with my sister

Two weeks later
Another period of time passes, specifically after two weeks

In the living room stressin'
I'm in the living room, feeling anxious and overwhelmed

My father's stone-faced
My father appears serious and expressionless

While you're asking for his blessin'
Meanwhile, you are seeking my father's approval

I'm dying inside
Internally, I am experiencing great distress and emotional pain

As you wine snd dine
While you engage in a charming and romantic courting process

And I'm tryin' not to cry
I'm making an effort to hold back my tears from overwhelming emotions

'Cause there's nothing that your mind can't do
I believe that your intelligence and capabilities are limitless

My father makes his way across the room
My father walks confidently through the room toward you

I panic for a second, thinking, 'We're through'
For a brief moment, I panic, fearing that our relationship might come to an end

But then he shakes your hand and says, 'Be true'
However, he surprises me by shaking your hand and advising you to stay loyal and honest

And you turn back to me, smiling, and I'm
You then look back at me, with a smile on your face, and I once again feel captivated and infatuated

'That boy is mine'
In a possessive manner, I declare that you are mine

'I am so into you
I am deeply and passionately attracted to you

Yeah, I'm helpless
Yes, I am powerless to resist you

I do I do I do I do
I wholeheartedly and faithfully commit to you

Yeah, I'm down for the count
Yes, I am defeated and overwhelmed by my feelings
