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
