Six numbers one more to dial
Before I'm before you
And I tried to call-been busy all night

Gave up waiting at daylight
Could you pencil me in when you can
Excuse me Mrs. Busybody
Though we both know that the worst part about it
Is I would be free when you wanted me
Hopin' you'll make up your mind

Ooooo I am the man on the side
If you wanted me
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

Though we both know that the worst part about it
Excuse me Mrs. Busybody
Could you pencil me in when you can
Is I would be free when you wanted me
If you wanted me

If you wanted me
Ooooo I am the man on the side

Hopin' you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
I fell in love with a dream that I built of you
Life as the man on the side
Playin' the part of the queen
Life as the man on the side

Taking my own advice
I'm giving up tonight good luck to you

and the king
Excuse me Mrs. Busybody
Could you pencil me in
Though we both know that the worst part about it
If you wanted me
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
Life as the man
I am the one who will swallow his pride
You know life as the man
Livin' life as the man on the side
