The Last 5 Years movie - Shiksa Goddess lyrics
rate me<br>
JAMIE<br>
I'm breaking my mother's heart<br>
The longer I stand looking at you<br>
The more I hear it splinter and crack<br>
From ninety miles away<br>
<br>
I'm breaking my mother's heart<br>
The JCC of Spring Valley is shaking<br>
And crumbling to the ground<br>
And my grandfather's rolling<br>
Rolling in his grave<br>
<br>
If you had a tattoo, that wouldn't matter<br>
If you had a shaved head, that would be cool<br>
If you came from Spain or Japan<br>
Or the back of a van<br>
Just as long as you're not from Hebrew school<br>
I'd say, "Now I'm getting somewhere!<br>
I'm finally breaking through!"<br>
I'd say, "Hey! Hey! Shiksa goddess!<br>
I've been waiting for someone like you"<br>
<br>
I've been waiting through Danica Schwartz and Erica Weiss<br>
And the Handelman twins<br>
I've been waiting through Heather Greenblatt, Annie Mincus, Karen Pincus and Lisa Katz<br>
And Stacy Rosen, Ellen Kaplan, Julie Silber and Janie Stein<br>
I've had Shabbas dinners on Friday nights<br>
With every Shapiro in Washington Heights<br>
But the minute I first met you<br>
I could barely catch my breath<br>
I've been standing for days with the phone in my hand<br>
Like and idiot, scared to death<br>
I've been wandering through the desert<br>
I've been beaten, I've been hit<br>
My people have suffered for thousands of years<br>
And I don't give a shit!<br>
<br>
If you had a pierced tongue, that wouldn't matter<br>
If you once were in jail or you once were a man,<br>
If your mother and your brother had "relations" with each other<br>
And your father was connected to the Gotti clan<br>
I'd say, "Well, nobody's perfect"<br>
It's tragic but it's true<br>
I'd say, "Hey! Hey! Shiksa goddess!<br>
I've been waiting for someone like..."<br>
<br>
You, breaking the circle<br>
You, taking the light<br>
You, you are the story<br>
I should write<br>
I have to write!<br>
<br>
If you drove an R.V., that wouldn't matter<br>
If you like to drink blood, I think it's cute<br>
If you've got a powerful connection to your firearm collection<br>
I'd say, Draw a bead and shoot<br>
I'm your Hebrew slave, at your service<br>
Just tell me what to do<br>
I say, "Hey hey hey hey!<br>
I've been waiting for someone<br>
I've been praying for someone<br>
I think that I could be in love with someone<br>
Like You"<br>
<br>
