Say No to This - Jasmine Cephas Jones/Leslie Odom Jr./Lin-Manuel Miranda (林-曼努爾·米蘭達)/Sydney James Harcourt/Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton

(《 亞歷山大·漢米爾頓》音樂劇插曲)

There's nothing like summer in the city

Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty

There's trouble in the air you can smell it

And Alexander's by himself I'll let him tell it

I hadn't slept in a week

I was weak I was awake

You never seen a bastard orphan

More in need of a break

Longing for Angelica

Missing my wife

That's when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life she said

I know you are a man of honor

I'm so sorry to bother you at home

But I don't know where to go and I came here all alone

She said

My husband's doin' me wrong

Beatin' me cheatin' me mistreatin' me

Suddenly he's up and gone

I don't have the means to go on

So I offered her a loan I offered to walk her home she said

You're too kind sir

I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away

She lived a block away she said

This one's mine sir

Then I said well I should head back home

She turned red she led me to her bed

Let her legs spread and said

Stay

Hey

Hey

That's when I began to pray

Lord show me how to

Say no to this

I don't know how to

Say no to this

But my God she looks so helpless

And her body's saying hell yes

Whoa

Nooo show me how to

Say no to this

I don't know how to

Say no to this

In my mind I'm tryin' to go

Go go go

Then her mouth is on mine and I don't say

No no

Say no to this

No no

Say no to this

No no

Say no to this

No no

Say no to this

I wish I could say that was the last time

I said that last time it became a pastime

A month into this endeavor I received a letter

From a Mr. James Reynolds even better it said

Dear Sir I hope this letter finds you in good health

And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth

In the pockets of people like me down on their luck

You see that was my wife who you decided to

Fuuuu

Uh-oh you made the wrong sucker a cuckold

So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled

And hey you can keep seein' my whore wife

If the price is right if not I'm telling your wife

I hid the letter and I raced to her place

Screamed how could you in her face

She said

No sir

Half dressed apologetic

A mess she looked

Pathetic she cried

Please don't go sir

So was your whole story a setup

I don't know about any letter

Stop crying Goddamnit get up

I didn't know any better

I am ruined

Please don't leave me with him helpless

Just give him what he wants and you can have me

Whatever you want

If you pay

You can stay

Tonight

Helpless

Whoa

How can you

Say no to this

There is nowhere I can go

Go go go

Then her mouth is on mine and I don't say

No

Yes

Say no to this

No

Yes

Say no to this

No

Yes

Say no to this

No

Yes

Say no to this

Say no to this

I don't say no to this

There is nowhere I can go

Go go go

So

Nobody needs to know
