Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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"
[Verse 4]
I have been wading through Danica Schwartz and Erica Weiss
And the Handelman twins
I've been wading through Heather Greenblatt
Annie Mincus, Karen Pincus, and Lisa Katz
And Stacy Rosen, Ellen Kaplan, Julie Silber, and Janie Stein
I've had Shabbos dinners on Friday nights
With every Shapiro in Washington Heights
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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"
[Verse 7]
Breaking the circle
You, taking the light
You, you are the story I should write
I have to write
[Verse 8]
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'd say, "Draw a bead and shoot"
I'm your Hebrew slave at your service
Just tell me what to do
I'd 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"
