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, Ms. 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
 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
 Excuse me, Ms. 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
 I fell in love with the dream that I built of you
 Playing the part of the queen
 Taking my own advice, I'm giving up tonight
 Good luck to you and the king
 Excuse me, Ms. 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
 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
