Say No To This (Laurens Version)
I thought of this while showering for an hour while camping
Burr
There's nothing like summer away from the city
Someone under stress meets someone feeling pity
There's trouble in the air, you can smell it
And Alexander's in his tent, I'll let him tell it
Hamilton
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 command
Missing my knife
That's when Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens walked into my life, he said
Laurens
I've heard you are a man of honor
I'm so sorry to bother you right now
But the General wanted me here, the directions were pretty clear
Ham
He said
Laurens
My father's doin' me wrong
Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me
So I just up and gone
I don't have the means to go on
Ham
So I offered him a bed, a place he could rest his head, he said
Laurens
You're too kind, sir
Ham
I gave him papers that I had socked away
Something to pass the day away, he said
Laurens
This is fine, sir
Ham
Then I said, well, I should head back to work
He turned red, pulled me onto the bed
Let his legs spread and said
Laurens
Stay?
Ham
Hey
Laurens
Hey
Ham
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, he looks so helpless
And his body's saying, hell, yes
Laurens
Whoa
Ham (Ensemble)
No, 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 his 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 I didn't love him
Then I'd just be bluffing, damn I guess I love him?
A month into this endeavor I received a letter
From a Mr. Henry Laurens, even better, it said
Henry
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 son who you decided to—
Ham
Fuuuu.....
Henry
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 son
If you pay the toll, if not I'm telling the General
Ham
I hid the letter and I raced to our place
Cried "how could you?!" in his face, he said
Laurens
No, Lex!
Ham
Half dressed, apologetic, a mess, he looked pathetic, he cried
Laurens
Please don't go, Lex!
Ham
So was your whole story a setup?
Laurens (Ham)
I don't know about any letter (Now I'm crying, God dammit, get up)
I didn't know any better (We are ruined)
Please don't leave me I am helpless (I am helpless how could we do this?)
Just give him what he wants and you can have me (I don't want you, I don't want you)
Whatever you want, if you pay
You can stay (Lord, show me how to say no to this)
Ham
I don't know how to say no to this
'Cause the situation's helpless
And his body's screaming, hell, yes
No, show me how to say no to this (whoa)
How can I say no to this
There is nowhere I can go (go, go, go)
When his body's on mine I do not say (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)
Henry
So?
Ham
.....nobody needs to know
This is what I choose to do with my life
