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

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

Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh

Ah-ah 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

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

Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh

Ah-ah And they come unstuck

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
