Lyrics
I'm breaking my mother's heart
The longer I stand looking at you
The more I hear it splinter and crack
From ninety miles away
I'm breaking my mother's heart
The JCC of Spring Valley is shaking and crumbling to the ground
And my grandfather's rolling, rolling in his grave
If you had a tattoo, that wouldn't matter
If you had a shaved head, that'd be cool
If you came from Spain or Japan or the back of the van
Just as long as you're not from Hebrew school
I'd say now I'm getting somewhere
I'm finally breaking through
I'd say hey, hey, shiksa goddess
I've been waiting for someone like you
I've been waiting through Danica Schwartz and Erica Weiss
And the Handleman twins
I've been waiting through Heather Greenblatt, Annie Minkus
Karen Pinkus and Lisa Katz
And Stacy Rosen, Ellen Kaplan
Julie Silver and Janie Stein
I've had Shabbos dinners on Friday nights
With every Shapiro in Washington Heights
But the minute I first met you
I could barely catch my breath
I've been standing for days with a phone in my hand
Like an idiot scared to death
I've been wandering through the desert
I've been beaten, I've been hit
My people have suffered for thousands of years
And I don't give a shit
If you had a pierced tongue, that wouldn't matter
If you kidnapped a cat or you held up a store
If your mother and your brother had relations with each other
And your father gets nostalgic for the Civil War
I'd say well, you know, nobody's perfect
It's tragic but it's true
I'd say hey, hey, shiksa goddess
I've been waiting for someone like you
Breaking the circle
You taking the light
It's you
You are the story I should write
I have to write
If you drove an RV, that wouldn't matter
If you like to drink blood, I think it's cute
If you've got a powerful connection to your firearm collection
I say draw a bead and shoot
I'm your keeper, slave at your service
Just tell me what to do
I'd say hey, hey, hey
I've been waiting for someone
I've been praying for someone
I think that I could be in love with someone like you
