Nobody Takes Me Seriously

Split Enz

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...
