Nina Simone - Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out Lyrics
Once I lived the life of a millionaireSpending my money, I didnt careTakin my friends out for a mighty good timeDrinkin high priced liquor, champagne and wineThen I began to fall so lowCouldnt buy me no friends, have no place to goIf I ever get my hands on a dollar againIm gonna hold on to it, till the eagle grinsI said nobody knows you when youre down and outIn your pocket, you aint got one pennyAnd your friends, you didnt have anyJust as soon as you get up on your feet againEverybody wants to be your long-lost friendOh lord without a doubtNobody wants you, nobody needs you nobody wants youWhen youre down and outI say nobody wants youNobody needs youNobody wants you when youre down and out
