Nobody Knows You When You`re Down And Ou — текст песни (Nina Simone)

(Jimmie Cox)

Well once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, I didn`t care
Takin` my friends out for a mighty good time
Buyin` boot leg liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Couldn`t find me no friends
Had 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
Here they all come, they say that they`re 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
