Riptide

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

I got a lump in my throat ′cause

You're gonna sing the words wrong
