Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out - Nina Simone

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' bootleg 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
