Nobody Loves You When You're Down & Out Lyrics - Steve Winwood

Once I lived the life of a millionaire 

Spent all my money, didn't have a care 

Taking all my friends out for a mighty good ride 

Bootleg liquors, champagne and wine 

Then I began to fall so low 

Didn't have a penny and no place to go 

If I ever lay my hand on a dollar again 

I'm gonna hold on to it till the eagle grins 

Nobody loves you when you are down and out 

In your pocket you ain't got one penny 

And your friends, you don't have any 

Well just as soon as you've get back on your feet again 

Here they all come the same old year long lost friends 

I thought that it's mighty strange but without a doubt 

For nobody wants you, I got to tell ya 

Nobody needs you 

Nobody loves you when you're down and out. 

(I got to tell you one more time)
