Nobody knows you when you're down and out
par Nina Simone

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
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
