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
