Riptide Lyrics

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
