six numbers

and one more to dial

before i'm before you

and i tried to call

been busy all night

gave up waitin' at daylight



excuse ms. busybody,could you pencil me in when you can?

though we both know that the worst part about it

is that i would be free when you wanted me

if you wanted me



i am the man on the side

hoping 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,

but one of the few to stand back and wait for you



excuse me s. busybody,could you pencil me in when you can?

though we both know that the worst part about it is

that i would be free when you wanted me

if you wanted me

if you wanted me



i am the man on the side

hoping 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 the dream that i built of you playing the part of the queen

taking my own advice, i'm givin' up tonight

good luck to you and the king



excuse me ms. busybody, could you pencil me in?

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



i am the man on the side

hoping you'll make up your mind

i am the one who will swallow his pride

life as the man on the side
