I'm breaking my
mother's heart
The longer I stand
looking at you
The more I hear it
splinter and crack
From 90 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 would be cool
If you came from
Spain or Japan
or the back of a 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 have been waiting through
Danica Schwartz
and Erica Weiss
And the Handelman twins
I've been waiting through
Heather Greenblatt
Annie Mincus
Karen Pincus and
Lisa Katz
And Stacy Rosen
Ellen Kaplan
Julie Silber and
Janie Stein
I've had Shabbas
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 the
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 once were in jail
or you once were a man
If your mother and your brother
had relations with each other
And your father was
connected to the Gotti clan
I'd say
Well 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
You
you are the story
I should write
I have to write
If you drove an R.V.
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'd say
Draw a bead and shoot
I'm your Hebrew slave
at your service
Just tell me what to do
I say
Hey 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
