Mulligan:
Alright, this is what Iām talkin bout! Give it up, for the Best Man, John Laurens!
Laurens:
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 best friend
(Laurens, Laurens, Laurens)
Who is always by your side
(by your side, by your side)
To your union and the hope that you provide
(you provide, you provide)
May you always (always)
Be satisfied (rewind)
Rewind!
Rewind!
I remember that night, I just might
I remember that night, I just might
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 us soldier boys
Drinking and toasting ourselves to our future praise
I remember that pub light candlelight
Like a dream that you canāt quite place
But Alexander, Iāll never forget the first time I saw your face
I have never been the same
Intelligent eyes and a witty ass nickname
And when you said āHiā I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame, ev'ry part aflame
This is not a gameā¦
Hamilton:
You strike me as a man who has never been satisfied
Laurens:
Iām sure I donāt know what you mean, you forget yourself
Hamilton:
Youāre like me, Iāve never been satisfied
Hamilton:
I have never been satisfied
Laurens:
My nameās John Laurens
Hamilton:
Alexander Hamilton
Laurens:
Where are you from?
Hamilton:
Unimportant, though I can already tell I like you a lot.
Just you wait, just you waitā¦
Laurens:
So so so
So this is what it feels like to match thoughts
With someone at your level! What the hell is the catch? Itās
The feeling of freedom, of joy and pride
Maybe with him I wonāt have to hide? You see him right?
The conversation lasted over two drinks, maybe three drinks
Ev'rything we said in total agreement, itās
A dream and itās a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture, itās a bit of a stance
He flirts with me in his notes, and I give him the chance
I tell him bout my plans, do you see his face tho?
Dumbstruck, listening at the edge of his seat.
Heās fallen hard, you can tell by the knowable seam in his pants
Handsome, boy, does he know it!
Peach fuzz, and he canāt even grow it!
I wanna take him far away from this place
Then Iāve gotta leave to fight, leading my men at a quick pace
Then I get a note that leaves tears on my face he is
Laurens:
And I know she is
Laurens:
And her eyes are just
Laurens
And I realize three fundamental truths at the exact same time
Iām a man in a world in which
My only job is to keep my title rich
My father has no other sons so Iām the one
Whoāll lead the black battalion the one
Cause Iām the oldest and the wittiest and the slavery in
Our new nation is insidious
And Alexander is penniless
Ha! That doesnāt mean I want him any less
(Doesnāt mean I want him any less)
(Doesnāt mean I want him any less)
(Doesnāt mean I want him any less)
He tells me he likes me a lot, that confuses the shit outta me
Iād have to be green to not see what he means
I donāt reply
Now thereās Eliza
Now thatās his bride
Nice going, Laurens, he was right
You will never be satisfied
(I will never be satisfied)
(I will never be satisfied)
I know my best friend like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
If I tell him that I love him he would toss her to the side
Heād be mine
She would say, āIām fineā
But sheād be lying
But when I fantasize at night
Itās Alexanderās eyes
As I romanticize what might have been
If I hadnāt left
so quickly
At least my dear Elizaās his wife
At least I keep his letters in my lifeā¦
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 best friend
(Laurens, Laurens, Laurens)
Who is always by your side
(by your side, by your side)
To your union and the hope that you provide
(you provide, you provide)
May you always
Be satisfied
And I know
Sheāll be happy as his bride
And I know
He will never be satisfied
I will never be satisfied
