I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You (Live)

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 have 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 famine
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

Okay, yeah, I just said that-

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
Or the whole routine
With the cousin's friend
Or the who-knows-what
Like I need that shit

I 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'll 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 through 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 in bigger halls
I will do a river dance
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 could be in love with someone
I could be in love with someone
I could be in love with someone
Like you

Awesome
Thank you
Thank you very much
