Nina Simone - Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending my money, I didn't care Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time Drinkin' bootleg liquor, champagne and wine Then I began to fall so low Couldn't buy me no friends, Have 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 Everybody wants to be 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
