Lyrics for Nobody Takes Me Seriously

Nobody listens to a word that I say And at work I'm just a foremans tool Sitting in the corner with my coffee & tray All the secretaries think I'm a fool I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more Haven't I the right to say I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more Nobody takes me seriously anyway Nobody takes me seriously anyway Nobody takes me seriously anyway Loves not a glimpse, it's a permanent rinse And it keeps you on your toes all day Every girl I met seemed to get apathetic When I looked at her that special way I can't get nobody else to take me for real They like to keep me tucked away Even if they listened to what I had to say Nobody'd take me seriously anyway Nobody takes me seriously anyway Nobody takes me seriously anyway If war broke out I'd be the last one to know If there was a fire they'd just leave me to burn I got just as much to say as any man But I never seem to get my turn I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more Haven't I the right to say I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more Nobody takes me seriously anyway Nobody takes me seriously anyway Nobody takes me seriously anyway (Nobody takes me seriously) Nobody. no, no, no-nobody...
