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 Mrs. Busybody

Could you pencil me in when you can

Though we both know that the worst part about it

Is that I would be free when you wanted me

If you wanted me

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh

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

One of the few

To stand back and wait for you

[Pre-Chorus]

Excuse Mrs. Busybody

Could you pencil me in when you can

Though we both know that the worst part about it

Is that I would be free when you wanted me

If you wanted me

If you wanted me

[Chorus]

Oh, 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

Life as the man on the side

[Verse 3]

I fell in love with a 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Excuse Mrs. Busybody

Could you pencil me in

Though we both know that the worst part about it

Is that I would be free when you wanted me

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

You know, life as the man

Living life as the man on the side
