Nina Simone - Pastel Blues

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

We'll, 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' 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
Here they all come, they say that they're your long-lost friend

Oh, Lord, whithout a doubt
Nobody want you
Nobody need you
Nobody want you
When you're down and out
I say nobody want you
Nobody need you
Nobody want you
When you're down and out
