Satisfied lyrics

LAURENS

Alright, alright. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Now everyone give it up for the maid of honor,

Angelica Schuyler!

ANGELICA

A toast to the groom!

ENSEMBLE

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

ANGELICA

To the bride!

ENSEMBLE

To the bride!

To the bride!

ANGELICA

From your sister,

ENSEMBLE

Angelica!

Angelica!

Angelica!

ANGELICA

who is always by your side.

ENSEMBLE

By your side!

By your side!

ANGELICA

To your union,

ENSEMBLE

To the union!

To the revolution!

ANGELICA

and the hope that you provide.

ENSEMBLE

You provide!

You provide!

ANGELICA

May you always…

HAMILTON AND ENSEMBLE

Always—

ANGELICA

be satisfied.

ENSEMBLE

Rewind—

Rewind—

ANGELICA

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,

FULL COMPANY

This is not a game…

HAMILTON

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

ANGELICA

I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. You forget yourself.

HAMILTON

You’re like me. I’m never satisfied.

ANGELICA

Is that right?

HAMILTON

I have never been satisfied.

ANGELICA

My name is Angelica Schuyler.

HAMILTON

Alexander Hamilton.

ANGELICA

Where’s your fam’ly from?

HAMILTON

Unimportant. There’s a million things I haven’t done but

just you wait, just you wait…

ANGELICA

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…

ELIZA

Helpless…

ANGELICA

And I know she is…

ELIZA

Helpless…

ANGELICA

And her eyes are just…

ELIZA

Helpless…

ANGELICA

And I realize

ANGELICA AND COMPANY

Three fundamental truths at the exact same time…

HAMILTON

Where are you taking me?

ANGELICA

I’m about to change your life.

HAMILTON

Then by all means, lead the way.

COMPANY (EXCEPT ANGELICA)

Number one!

ANGELICA

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.

ELIZA

Elizabeth Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

HAMILTON

Schuyler?

ANGELICA

My sister.

COMPANY

Number two!

ANGELICA

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.

ELIZA

Thank you for all your service.

HAMILTON

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

ANGELICA

I’ll leave you to it.

COMPANY

Number three!

ANGELICA

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”

ANGELICA AND COMPANY

She’d be lying.

ANGELICA

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…

ANGELICA

To the groom!

ENSEMBLE

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

ANGELICA

To the bride!

ENSEMBLE

To the bride!

To the bride!

ANGELICA

From your sister,

ENSEMBLE

Angelica!

Angelica!

Angelica!

ANGELICA

who is always by your side.

ENSEMBLE

By your side!

ANGELICA

To your union,

ENSEMBLE

To the union!

To the revolution!

ANGELICA

and the hope that you provide.

ENSEMBLE

You provide!

You provide!

ANGELICA

May you always

HAMILTON AND ENSMBLE

Always

ANGELICA

be satisfied.

HAMILTON AND MEN

Satisfied

Satisfied

Satisfied

ANGELICA

And I know

She’ll be happy as

his bride.

And I know

He will never be satisfied.

I will never be satisfied.
