I Could Be in Love With Someone Like You [The Radio in My Head]
My first crush on an Irish girl: I was ten years old and her name was Elaine Little redhead girl, well she looked like you, but if you were ten Which you're clearly not Not that you look old but you get my- I'll just stop now Okay, wait, 'Cause I had a point, no I swear I did, well, I think I did - Which is all my life Or since I was ten I had a yen for an Irish lass Because God knows why Like the ancient curse of Shiksa queens Do I talk too much? Which is not to say I would want Elaine Who turned out to be when I last checked in A Republican, and a parapsychologist
If you've got a four leaf clover You could make my dreams come true I will be your Hebrew slave just do the things that Irish girls do Talk about potato famines I begin to cry on cue Sing about the emerald isle and get your Irish eyes to smilin' I could be in love with someone like you
I Just left a relationship with a lovely girl named Alyssa Levine She was really great It was all my fault I just got upset 'cause she slept with my brother
So I made a vow not to get caught up in the dating scene In the whole routine With the cousin's friend Or the who-knows-what Like I need that shit I've got marks to make I've got steps to climb It's the perfect time I got books to write, I got things to do I go out my door and bump into you And the jig is up and my vow is through I don't know what I'm doing But come in and ruin me!
I will write my own Ulysses If you're there to show me how Take me back to Glocca Morra Bathe me in the river Shenandoah If you'll be Mrs. O'Leary Baby I will be your cow I will deliver shamrocks daily Buy your pa a new shillelagh I could be in love with someone like...
You could be my inspiration And get me past this block And walk me into the great unknown You could be my true salvation Unchain me from this rock And keep me from being alone 'Cause I'm no good at being alone
Take me to another level Let me play bigger halls I will do a riverdance As long as you keep answerin' my calls Get me out of my apartment Keep me from my empty walls Someone hire John McCormack Start the wearing of the green let me win the Irish sweepstakes Let me take you home, Kathleen
I can be in love with someone I can be in love with someone I can be in love with someone Like you!
