Six numbers one more to dial

Before I'm before you

I tried to call been busy all night

Gave up waitin' 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

Hopin' 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, hey, hey



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



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



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



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
