This is not a game 01:37
You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied 01:39
I'm sure I don't know what you mean 01:43
You forget yourself 01:45
You're like me, I'm never satisfied 01:46
Is that right? 01:50
I have never been satisfied 01:52
My name is Angelica Schuyler 01:55
Alexander Hamilton 01:58
Where's your family from? 02:01
Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done 02:02
Just you wait, just you wait 02:06
So so so 02:09
So this is what it feels like to match wits 02:10
With someone at your level! what the hell is the catch? 02:12
It's the feeling of freedom, of seeing the light 02:14
It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite 02:15
You see it right? 02:17
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes 02:18
Everything we said in total agreement 02:20
It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance 02:22
A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance 02:23
He's a bit of a flirt, but I'mma give it a chance 02:25
I asked about his fam'ly, did you see his answer? 02:27
His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance 02:29
He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants 02:31
Handsome, boy does he know it 02:33
Peach fuzz and he can't even grow it 02:35
I wanna take him far away from this place 02:37
Then I turn and see my sister's face and she is 02:39
Helpless 02:41
And I know she is 02:42
Helpless 02:45
And her eyes are just 02:46
Helpless 02:49
And I realize 02:50
(Three fundamental truths at the exact same time) 02:52
Where are you taking me? 02:57
I'm about to change your life 02:58
Then by all means, lead the way 03:00
(Number one!) 03:02
I'm a girl in a world in which 03:03
My only job is to marry rich 03:04
My father has no sons so I'm the one who has to social climb for one 03:06
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York City is insidious 03:10
And Alexander is penniless 03:14
Ha, that doesn't mean I want him any less 03:16
Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you 03:18
Schuyler? My sister 03:21
(Number two!) 03:23
He's after me because I'm a Schuyler sister 03:24
That elevates his status 03:26
I'd have to be naive to set that aside 03:28
Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza 03:30
Now that's his bride 03:34
Nice going Angelica, he was right, you will never be satisfied 03:36
Thank you for all your service 03:40
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it 03:41
I'll leave you to it 03:45
(Number three!) 03:46
I know my sister like I know my own mind 03:48
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind 03:51
If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned 03:55
He'd be mine 03:58
She would say "I'm fine", she'd be lying 04:00
But when I fantasize at night, it's Alexander's eyes 04:03
As I romanticize what might have been if I hadn't sized 04:07
Him up so quickly 04:13
At least my dear Eliza's his wife 04:15
At least I keep his eyes in my life 04:21

To the groom! 04:29

Lyrics:

[English]

All right, all right, that's what I'm talking 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, rewind

Rewind, rewind, rewind

Helpless, skies... skies

Helpless, drowning... drowning

Rewind (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, ev'ry 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 have 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

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 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

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

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

That elevates his status

I'd have to be naive 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

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)

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)

He will never be satisfied

I will never be satisfied

Grammar:

  • May you always be satisfied (rewind)

    ➔ Subjunctive mood (May + subject + base form of verb)

    ➔ Expresses a wish or hope. Here, it expresses a wish that the couple will always be "satisfied".

  • I just might regret that night for the rest of my days

    ➔ Modal verb 'might' expressing possibility; 'for the rest of my days' - idiom

    "Might" indicates a weaker possibility than "will". "For the rest of my days" means for the remainder of her life.

  • You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied

    ➔ Relative clause ('who has never been satisfied') modifying 'a woman'.

    ➔ The relative clause provides additional information about the type of woman he perceives her to be.

  • There's a million things I haven't done

    ➔ Reduced relative clause ('that' omitted): 'a million things (that) I haven't done'

    ➔ The relative pronoun 'that' is often omitted when it is the object of the relative clause.

  • So this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level!

    ➔ Exclamatory sentence structure; 'what' clause as the subject ('What it feels like to match wits with someone at your level')

    ➔ The 'what' clause describes the experience. The whole sentence expresses surprise and excitement.

  • He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants

    ➔ Idiomatic expression: 'flying by the seat of his pants' (meaning doing things without planning).

    ➔ This idiom suggests that he is improvising and acting on instinct, lacking stability or a solid plan.

  • If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it

    ➔ Mixed Conditional (Type 2 & Type 3): hypothetical past condition with a past result

    ➔ Expresses that even if meeting required a significant past event (fighting a war), the outcome (meeting) would have justified it.

  • At least my dear Eliza's his wife / At least I keep his eyes in my life

    ➔ 'At least' as an adverbial phrase indicating consolation or partial satisfaction; parallelism in sentence structure.

    ➔ 'At least' offers a mitigating factor, even if the overall situation is not ideal. The parallel structure emphasizes the conflicting emotions.
