six numbers, one more to dial
before I'm before you
I tried to call
been busy all night
gave up waiting at daylight
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
ohhhhh...
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
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
ohhhh...
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 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
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
if you wanted me, if you wanted me
ohhhhh....
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

Review about Man On The Side life | Reviewer: Mike | 10/12/09
this song relates to me twice. girls who have boyfriends or just dont want to date tend to want to be friends with me. and when i have a girlfriend she always seems to retreat to her old unhealthy ways. forgetting me and everything i did for her
This song relates to me. The girl never gave me the chance and fell her old boyfriend and her old ways. We were together but the whole time she kept pushing me away. I sat there emotionless, waiting... hoping that she would change. Never happened... I sat there as the Man on the Side.
nice | Reviewer: Tyler | 3/8/08
love this song! no exaduarting, this actually happened to me in high school. we were friends, got tired of waiting for her to lose her drag addict boyfriend, told her how i felt, said she would change. never did so i took her advice and gave up.
This is not what love is all about this song is an expression of a person with a broken heart. its very deep and im learning to play it right now.

This song reminds me of myself...I bet there are boys out there who would sing this to me if they new it...being busy isn't always fun. Way to go John, you rock!
actual songwriter | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/21/07
Great song! This song was actually written by a friend of John's, Clay Cook. John covers it on his album Any Given Thursday, but it's on Clay's album as well. Both versions are fantastic. I prefer Clay's voice and John's guitar. If they would play it together combining their strong points, well, that would just be awesome.
