Lyrics

[Verse One] Six numbers one more to dial Before I'm before you I tried to call been busy all night Gave up waitin' at daylight [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] I am the man on the side Hopin' you'll make up your mind I am the one who will swallow his pride Life as the man on the side [Verse Two] One of the many 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 that the worst part about it Is I would be free when you wanted me If you wanted me If you wanted me, hey, hey [Chorus] I am the man on the side Hopin' 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 [Bridge] I fell in love with a dream that I built of you Playin' the part of the queen Takin' my own advice I'm givin' up tonight, good luck to you and the king [Pre-Chorus] 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 if you wanted me When, when you wanted me Ohh, when you wanted babe [Chorus] I am the man on the side Hopin' you'll make up your mind I am the one who will swallow his pride Life as a man, you know life as a man Livin' life as a man on the side
