Lyrics

[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
[PreChorus]
Excuse me, Mrs. Busy Body
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
[Chorus]
I am the man on the side
Hoping you 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
[PreChorus]
Excuse me, Mrs. Busy Body
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
[Chorus]
I am the man on the side
Hoping you 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
[Outro]
I am the man on the side
Hoping you 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
