"Nobody Knows You (When You're Down And Out)" lyrics

"Nobody Knows You (When You're Down And Out)"

Once I led the life of a millionaire
I spent all my money, I didn't care
Taking my friends out for a mighty good time
High priced liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
I didn't have no money, nowhere to go
It's mighty strange without a doubt
How nobody loves you when you're down and out

Nobody loves you if you're down and out
In your pocket you ain't got one penny
Fine feathered friends you haven't any
But wait, wait till you get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's mighty strange without a doubt
How nobody loves you
Nobody loves you when you're down and out

Once I led the life of a millionaire
I spent all my money, I didn't care
I took my friends out
Treated my friends to cocaine and wine
Then I began to fall so low
I didn't have no money, nowhere to go
It's mighty strange without a doubt
How nobody loves you
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
