You can replace (8x1079x) and (10x1079x) by (x35533) and (xx0533)


Intro

(1)

Six numbers, one more to dial 
before I'm before you tonight
I tried to call
been busy all night 
gave up waiting at daylight 

(2) 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 

(3) 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 

(1)

One of the many
One of the few 
to stand back and wait for you 

(4) 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 

(3) 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 

(5) 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 

(7) Excuse me Mrs. Busybody 
could you pencil me in 
though we both know that the worst part about it 
is I would be free when you wanted me 

(3) 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
