I was scared of
dentists and the dark
I was scared of
pretty girls and
starting conversations
Oh all my friends
are turnin' green
You're the magician's
assistant in their dream
Ah-ooh ah-oh
And they come unstuck
Lady runnin' down
to the riptide
Taken away to
the dark side
I wanna be your
left-hand man
I love you when
you're singin'
that song
And I got a lump
in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing
the words wrong
There's this movie that
I think you'll like
This guy decides to
quit his job and
heads to
New York City
This cowboy's
runnin' from himself
And she's been livin'
on the highest shelf
Ah-ooh ah-oh
And they come unstuck
Lady runnin' down
to the riptide
Taken away to
the dark side
I wanna be your
left-hand man
I love you when
you're singin' that song
And I got a lump
in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing
the words wrong
I just wanna
I just wanna know
If you're gonna
if you're gonna stay
I just gotta
I just gotta know
I can't have it
I can't have it
any other way
I swear she's
destined for the screen
Closest thing
to Michelle Pfeiffer
that you've ever seen oh
Lady runnin' down
to the riptide
Taken away to
the dark side
I wanna be your
left-hand man
I love you when
you're singin' that song
And I got a lump
in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing
the words wrong
Oh lady runnin'
down to the riptide
Taken away to
the dark side
I wanna be your
left-hand man
I love you when
you're singin' that song
And I got a lump
in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing
the words wrong
Oh lady runnin'
down to the riptide
Taken away to
the dark side
I wanna be your
left-hand man
I love you when
you're singin' that song
And I got a lump
in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing
the words wrong yeah
