Song lyrics
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

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
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, 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

CHORUS
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 a 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

PRE-CHROUS
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 you wanted me
Oh, when you wanted me

CHORUS
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, you know life as the man
Living life as the man on the side

the guitar work on this song is phenominal, especially if you watch him play it on the dvd.. and when he hits the high notes on the third "..excuse me mrs. busybody...", you can just hear the crowd go crazy.
