Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, didnt 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
Didnt have a penny and no place to go
If I ever lay my hand on a dollar again
Im gonna hold on to it till the eagle grins
Nobody loves you when you are down and out
In your pocket you aint got one penny
And your friends, you dont have any
Well just as soon as youve get back on your feet again
Here they all come the same old year long lost friends
I thought that its mighty strange but without a doubt
For nobody wants you, I got to tell ya
Nobody needs you
Nobody loves you when youre down and out.
(I got to tell you one more time)
