Man On The Side Lyrics

Six numbers, one more to dial 

Before I'm before you tonight

I tried to call, been busy all night 

Gave up waiting at daylight 



Excuse me, Mrs. Busybody 

Could you pencil me in when you can?

Though we both know that the worst part about it 

Is I would be free when you wanted me 

If you wanted me



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 



One of the many

One of the few 

To stand back and wait for you 



Excuse me, Mrs. Busybody 

Could you pencil me in when you can?

Though we both know that the worst part about it 

Is I would be free when you wanted me 

If you wanted me

If you wanted me



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 



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 



Excuse me, Mrs. Busybody 

Could you pencil me in?

Though we both know that the worst part about it 

Is I would be free when you wanted me 

If you wanted me

If you wanted me



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
