Man On The Side

Six numbers, one more to dial
Before I'm before you
I tried to call,'been busy all night
Gave up waiting at daylight
Excuse me, Ms. 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

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, but one of the few
To stand back and wait for
Excuse me, Ms. 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

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, Ms. 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

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
