Being the man on the side is a choice you choose.
Behind the front, behind the lies
I see the questions that are drowning deep inside your eyes
You live your life but always wonder why
Nothing ever changes no matter how hard you try
You know what’s right and what you need to do
But that fear of change will never let you through
It’s time to release the grip from your sturdy rock
and ride the tide until you reach your dock
I know what you want that you just can’t have
Don’t question yourself, its all in the bag
Please don’t let go of what you dream to do
your faith will serve to always let you through
She might be the one that you’ve always sought
But she is with him and him you are not
wait, don’t quit for she could feel the same
your confidence might have been the thing to blame.
she could be that one that you truly love
but would a friend in her be ample enough?
you say to yourself that’s the way it’ll always be
keep your head up brotha there’s more fish in the sea
Don’t let yourself fall back into the game of love
burned once, burned twice, is that not enough?
Spend some more time with her and she just how she feels
don’t open up your heart just to watch it spill!

this song means the world to me. i met a great guy friend who wanted to date me but, i wasn't ready for a relationship so he tried for awhile then gave up. we stayed friends and he would listen to me complain about other guys i was seeing until one day i realized i wanted to be with him. he let me hear this song soon after we started dating and told me he played it every night after we talked hoping i would change my mind. the funny part is that as soon as i wanted him he was dating someone i set him up with and he broke it off he was free when i wanted him.john mayor is my favorite artist and we listen to him every night before we go to bed. my dream wedding would be for him to propose at a john mayor concert on stage then this song would start playing.

it is unbelievable how much this song relates to my current situation! i always listen to john mayers cd before i go to bed and i was waiting for someone to call back. this song came on and the way the song starts out is amazing (on his double disc cd)! not to mention the lyrics are so true, i think that anyone, male or female, can relate to this song.

The way this song starts on the live CD is incredible - I always knew that John was a great guitarist, but this amplifies that a thousandfold. Then the actual song begins and the listener is subjected to 5 or 6 minutes of pure genius. Some people say that you can learn how to play soulful music, but this man was born with a soul and an ability to play blues guitar like very few others.
Brilliant.

There is a song I heard on mp3.com that is just plain awesome. I think he was going through the same emotions John was. Listen to the song, "The Rain". It's by Isaac Simon. He's got a another really good song on there too!! http://www.mp3.com/isaacsimon

This is an absolutely beautiful song that is very raw and real on John's part. I respect any male artist that is willing to put his heart out there in such a way. I think that we have all experienced the emotion of this song at one point in our lives.
I have tickets to see him here in KC on July 28th and I am REALLY excited!!!!

Okay, love, love, love John Mayer. Never heard this song, but sounds like it would be as good as all the rest. Have to say I am disappointed with some of the comments, namely all the women pining for their married boyfriends. HELLO!!!!! They're married!! How about trying to have some morals and finding someone who is available? Despite whatever he's telling you, know that he will cheat on you just as easily as he's cheating on his wife!!

I just broke up with my girlfried... not because I gave up hope, but because I realize that some women have intentions and need to be left alone until they're ready to realize that life can be great without the man on the side, but with them both walking together, hand in hand... She will realize

this song was written especially about me. i do not intentionally ignore my men, it is just that i have purpose in my life, and my purpose is more important than a dating relationship. why get into one? well for the same reasons everyone else does, for companionship, fun, and maybe even for the security. i am sorry to all those i have hurt. maybe i just get too busy so that i can keep from getting hurt....dunno

this song brought me to my realization of the truth after hearing it.
I told her I didnt want to do anything unless she left the father of her children which she had already planned to. After doing so I call her on the phone and shes never home, I send email she doesnt reply.
Like a idiot I have waited and hoped for over 2 years but thanks to this song I have come to my senses. If she cant find the time to pick up the phone and let me know whats up then I fear what it would be like if we were married nope not gonna happen. I had some strong feelings for her and she says she felt the same way but I also have some self respect!

It's been said several times already. Change the gender and you've got my life right now. I finally got the live DVD and the first time I heard the song I sat and cried. I'm crazy about someone who is married and I often feel as if I'm going to be used. (We've never gone out though. I told him he has to get divorced first....and the process has already been started.)

One of the many, but one of the few. To stand back and wait for you. Well Im not waiting anymore. This girl and I met,we clicked from the very first 5 minutes we talked. It was surreal. My only reason I had to get up in the mornin(besides college and work) was to get the surprise of getting a text message from her saying goodnite and to see her wonderful smile, the kind that made you want to do superhuman things just to makehr realize how crazy you are over her. I loved/love her but she dropped me for the old bf and Im stuck with my heart in pieces and I dont know how to move on because I am afraid to get what's left of my heart kicked and stomped on by another girl. You know what I have figured out? Girls don't want a "nice" guy, they pick out the "assholes"(which was her bf) and convince themself they can change them but when they realize they cant they find guys like me, guys who arent looking to get laid, but are in fact looking for a meaningful relationship, and they tell them their whole story and we listen. We r good at that. But listening is really all we are ever good for, despite all the "I Love you"s and "I think about you all the time" they are just playing games with your head. I am now ging crazy and it is hard to focus bc I loved her more than I did any o my family, If I had but only 1 reason to see the sun the next morning, it was just so I could see her face once more and to stare at those eyes forever and not have to say a wordbut know exactly what each of us were thinking. I wake up everyday now, a month maybe more later, and I hurt, a pain that cannot be dulled by anything, time even. I wake up knowing I will never see that smile or those eyes again. Life a the man on the side...

This is a great song and like many who have left comments on here, i can relate. But, like Bowling for Soup once said, "It sucks to even try/But I won't try anymore.." or Simple Plan's words "How Long Will I Be Waiting? Until the End of Time...I don't know why I'm still waiting! I can't make you mine!"......

I love this song b/c it's about time the women out there (not all of you.) realize what it's like being a guy, and having to be the one to "win over". It's about time someone told it our way... and John Mayer accomplished this the best way it could ever be told.
And I'm glad that there are women who listen to this song and are touched by it because it's made them learn something. :) Go you.

Your comments make me want to cry, guys.
Remember, some of us girls are just in our phase and don't get it yet.
I'm glad I get it now. Keep listening to John :)

wow. i can't really say anything else but wow. it's just so amazing reading his fealings. this guy i know loves me so much he wants to marry me. i care for his so much but i couldn't think of marrying him. he's just not the guy i want like that. and i feal like i'm the girl in this song and he's the boy. it just hurts me so much knowing that that is similar to what he feals. it truely brings tears to my eyes.
