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` high priced 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
