Lenny / Man On The Side lyrics

[Verse One]

Six numbers one more to dial

Before I'm before you

I tried to call been busy all night

Gave up waitin' 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

Hopin' you'll make up your mind

I am the one who will swallow his pride

Life as the man on the side

[Verse Two]

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, hey, hey

[Chorus]

I am the man on the side

Hopin' 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

[Bridge]

I fell in love with a dream that I built of you

Playin' the part of the queen

Takin' my own advice

I'm givin' up tonight, good luck to you and the king

[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 if you wanted me

When, when you wanted me

Ohh, when you wanted babe

[Chorus]

I am the man on the side

Hopin' you'll make up your mind

I am the one who will swallow his pride

Life as a man, you know life as a man

Livin' life as a man on the side
