[Verse 1]
Discomfort of strangers
In awkward places
No names to the faces
Just strange combinations
They'll defy explanation
Discomfort of strangers
[Chorus 1]
Finally taking me seriously
Somebody taking me seriously
Somebody, finally taking me seriously (Digression)
Finally, somebody taking me seriously
[Verse 2]
If you fail to repay me
In time, all to be ready
To say that I ain't heavy
To stay here with me baby
The wilder the horses
The tighter the reins
It's not black and white
But black, white, and grey
[Refrain 1]
Wouldn't even
Lead to stand on
Can't you see?
To be taken
To be taken seriously
[Verse 3]
Discomfort of strangers
In awkward places
No names to the faces
Just strange combinations
[Verse 2]
If you fail to repay me
In kind, or to be ready
To say that I ain't heavy
To stay here with me baby
The wilder the horses
The tighter the reins
It's not black and white
But black, white, and grey
[Refrain 2]
Wouldn't even
Lead to stand on
Can't you see?
To be taken seriously
[Interlude]
My discretion, my disgrace
My digressions, my bad taste
(Deceiving [?])
My discretion, my disgrace
(So I'm breaking [?])
My digressions, my bad taste
([?])
[Chorus 2]
Finally taking me seriously
Somebody taking me seriously
Finally taking me seriously
Finally taking me seriously
