Renée Elise Goldsberry Satisfied song lyrics
Feat Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton Renée Elise Goldsberry Satisfied song lyrics
Alright, alright.
That's what I'm talkin' 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)
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 satisified.
(Rewind, rewind. 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 fam'ly from?
Unimportant. There's a million things I haven't done but 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 seein' the light
it's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite!
You see it, right?
The conversation lasted two minutes
maybe three minutes, ev'rything 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'm ‘a 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 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
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.
Number two!
He's after me cuz I'm a Schuyler sister. That elevates his status, I'd have to be
naïve 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.
Number three!
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's always by your side.
To your union, (to the union! To the union! To the revolution!)
and the hope that you provide.
(You provide! You provide! You provide!)
May you always (always, always)
be satisfied. (Be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied.)
And I know
She'll be happy as his bride.
And I know
He will never be satisfied. I will never be satisfied.
