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 dreams
!--Pre-chorus--
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, 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
!--Pre-chorus--
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, 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
!--Interlude--
e -------3---------
B -3h5-5-------5---
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
!--Pre-chorus-- (strum once and hold)
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 yeah, I got a lump
In my throat, 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
