Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)

Lyrics for Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)

Nobody loves you when you're down and out Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine I've been across to the other side I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide But still you ask me, do I love you? What it is? What it is? All I can tell you is it's all show biz All I can tell you is it's all show biz Nobody loves you when you're down and out Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime I'll scratch your back and you knife mine I've been across the water now so many times I've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind But still you ask me, do I love you? What you say? What you say? Every time I put my finger on it, it slips away Every time 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, oo-wee! Then I'm lying in the darkness And I know I can't get to sleep, oo-wee! Nobody loves you when you're old and grey Nobody needs you when you're upside down Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground
