lyrics

I think that it'd be really cool
to be underrated
rather than lie on center stage
all over-stated

sequence really ain't my thing
i'd really just rather sing
a little tune alone in my room

I'd rather walk down the street
and be unrecognized by the people I meet
than have my face on MTV
with millions of fans that I'd never see
or be chased by the lies
of a black tinted window disguise
I guess I just like it outside the spotlight

Just call me Mr. B-Side
I'm hanging out off stage right
safely outside the lime light

Don't get me wrong it'd be just fine
if one of my songs got stuck in your mind
And you can bet it would make me smile
if the radio thought I was worthwhile to play
on it's invisible floating airwaves
but you see I've got this citrus allergy

Just call me Mr. B-Side
I'm hanging out off stage right
safely outside the lime light
