Well once I lived the life of a millionaire
|
Spending my money, I didn't care
|
Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time
|
Buyin' boot leg liquor, champagne and wine
|
Then I began to fall so low
|
Couldn't find me no friends
|
Had no place to go
|
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
|
I'm gonna hold on to it, till the eagle grins
|
|
I said nobody knows you
|
When you're down and out
|
In your pocket, you ain't got one penny
|
And your friends, you didn't have any
|
Just as soon as you get up on your feet again
|
Here they all come, they say that they're your long-lost friend
|
Oh lord without a doubt
|
Nobody wants you
|
Nobody needs you
|
Nobody wants you
|
When you're down and out
|
|
I say
|
|
Nobody wants you
|
Nobody needs you
|
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
|
