Lyrics Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out - Sam Cooke

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money honey, I didnt care
Taking my friends out for a mighty good time
I bought that bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

Oh, but then my money began to fall so low
Couldn't find no friends
I had no place to go
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna holdon to it till that eagle grins

'Cause I found out that nobody wants you
Nobody wants you
When you down and out
When In your pocket, all there's not one penny
You find out your, you haven't got any

Oh, just as soon as you get back up on your feet again
Here they all come saying
Their your old long-lost friend
All along I found out with out a doubt
That's nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
I found out that nobody want's you
When you're down and out

Oh, say that again
Nobody wants you
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
When in your pocket, all there's not one penny
You find out your, you haven't got any
Oh, just as soon as you get back up on your feet again
Here they all come saying

They're your old long-lost friend
All along I found out with out a doubt
That's nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
I found out that nobody want's you
When you're down and out

No-no-no-no-no nobody want's you
No-nobody needs you
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
