Verse1

Six numbers, one more to dial

Before I'm before you

I tried to call,'been busy all night

Gave up waiting at daylight

[Bridge1 sounding-stuff]

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

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

Verse again

instrumental only)]

Verse2

same as verse 1)]

One of the many, but one of the few

To stand back and wait for you

[Bridge1 Again]

Chorus again

Bridge2

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

Solo

Bridge3

like Bridge1 with a little more intensity)]

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

And then big exciting ending Chorus
