Chorus : I'm German, you're Jewish,
How could we ever make it through this?

I've got this problem that seems to linger
Every time I find myself around your finger
This would make more sense in another time
Not in America where we're Westernised.
But if we were, what would I do?
What would I have said to what we've gone through

Bridge : War won't stop me,
I'm no Nazi,
That's why I would never tell
If you were fighting, surviving, hiding,
Behind an old bookshelf

Chorus

You've always been above,
In some higher class,
I'm just a small rock star,
You're an actress,
What could I say to ever prove to you
That there can be love between a German and a Jew
