Man On The Side

[Verse 1] Six numbers, one more to dial Before I'm before you I tried to call, been busy all night Gave up waiting at daylight [Pre-Chorus] Excuse me, Mrs. Busybody Could you pencil me in when you can And we both know that the worst part about it is I would be free if you wanted me, if you wanted me [Chorus] I am the man on the side Hoping you'll make up your mind I am the one who will swallow his pride Life as the man on the side [Verse 2] One of the many, and one of the few To stand back and wait for you [Pre-Chorus] Excuse me, Mrs. Busybody Could you pencil me in when you can Though we both know the worst part about it is I would be free if you wanted me If you wanted me [Chorus] I am the man on the side Hoping you'll make up your mind I am the one who will swallow his pride Life as the man on the side I said, life as the man on the side [Bridge] I fell in love with the dream that I built of you Playing the part of the queen Taking my own advice I'm giving up tonight Good luck to you and the king, yeah [Chorus] I am the man on the side Hoping you'll make up your mind I am the one who will swallow his pride Life as the man I said, life as the man, oh Life as the man on the side
