Nobody Loves You (when You`re Down And Out) Lyrics

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
And 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
And still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you
say
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everytime 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
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
