Man On The Side lyrics

by

John Mayer


[Verse 1]
Six numbers, one more to dial
Before I'm before you
I tried to call
Been busy all night
Gave up waiting at daylight

[Pre-Chorus]
Excuse Mrs. 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

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
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

[Verse 2]
One of the many
One of the few
To stand back and wait for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Excuse Mrs. 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

[Chorus]
Oh, 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

[Verse 3]
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-Chorus]
Excuse Mrs. Busybody
Could you pencil me in
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
[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
