Lyrics

Satisfied

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Alright, alright, 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)

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 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'ma 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

And Alexander is penniless

Hah, 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 'cause 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

He will never be satisfied

I will never be satisfied

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 (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)

And I know (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)

She'll be happy as his bride (be satisfied, be satisfied)

And I know (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)

He will never be satisfied

I will never be satisfied
