Jason Robert Brown – I Could Be In Love With Somone Like You lyrics

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!
