Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)
Nobody loves you when you're down and outNobody sees you when you're on cloud nineEverybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dimeI'll scratch your back and you scratch mine
I've been across to the other sideI've shown you everything, I got nothing to hideAnd still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it isAll I can tell you is it's all show bizAll I can tell you is it's all show biz
Nobody loves you when you're down and outNobody knows you when you're on cloud nineEverybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dimeI'll scratch your back and you knife mine
I've been across the water now so many timesI've seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blindAnd still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you sayEverytime I put my finger on it, it slips awayEverytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking in the mirror to see, ooo wee!Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep, ooo wee!
Nobody loves you when you're old and greyNobody needs you when you're upside downEverybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthdayEverybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground
