Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out Lyrics - Anthology - Nina Simone

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
