Nobody Loves You When You’re Down and Out Songtext
von Derek and the Dominos

Once, I lived the life of a millionare
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends
I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hand on a dollar again
I′m gonna hang on to it until that eagle grins, yeah
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you′re down and out
In your pocket, not one penny


And as for friends, you don't have any
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be an old, long-lost friend
I said, it's mighty strange
Nobody knows you when you′re down and out, yeah
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be a good old, long-lost friend
I said, it′s mighty strange, yeah
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
