paroles de chanson Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out - Roberta Flack

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
I spent my money, I didn't care
Took all of my friends out for my good time
And I bought champagne, caviar, gin, wine
Just as soon as my money got low
Couldn't find one friend, no place to go
But if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it, squeeze it 'til the eagle grins

Nobody knows you when you are down and out
In your pockets, not even one penny
Your friends, where are your friends?
You haven't got any
Ooh, all you have to do
All you have to do is get back up on your feet again
And everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, but without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you are down

Nobody knows you when you are down and out
In your pockets, not even one penny
Your friends, where are your friends?
You haven't got any, yeah, yeah
All you have to do, yeah, get halfway back up
And everybody wants to be your long, your long-lost friend, yes, they do
It's mighty strange, oh, but without a doubt
Nobody, nobody knows you
Nobody needs you, you better believe
Nobody knows you when you are down and out, oh yeah
