[Intro]: }x2
[Verse 1]:
I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream
Ooooooh, Ahaaaaaa and they come unstuck
[Chorus]:
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
[Verse 2]:
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 running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Ooooooh, Ahaaaaaa and they come unstuck
[Chorus]:
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
[Bridge]:
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
{this is just one strum}
* * *
I swear she's destined for the screen
* * *
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
[Chorus]:
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
?
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
?
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
?
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
