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 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
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
One of the many, one of the few
To stand back and wait for you
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
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
I fell in love with the dream that I built of you
Playing the part of a queen
Taking my own advice
I'm giving up tonight
Good luck to you and the king, yeah
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
