Nobody Wants You When You're Down and Out - Original - Bobby Womack

Once I lived a life

Of a millionaire

Spending my money, honey

Oh, I didn’t care

Taking my friends out

For a mighty good time

Drinking that good gin

Champagne and wine

Oh, just as soon as my money got low

Couldn’t find my friends

And I had no place to go But if I ever get my hands

On a dollar again

I believe I’ll hold on To that eager grin

'Cause I found out

Nobody wants you

When you’re down and out

Nobody wants you

When you’re down and out

Down and out

Oh, yeah, mm hmm

Wait a minute

When in your pocket

There’s not one penny

All men and good friend

I’m telling you to find out

If you haven’t got any

Oh, just let you get up On your feet again

Here they all come

Telling you, boy

That you’re a long lost friend

Nobody wants you

When you’re down and out

Let me tell you about it Nobody wants you

Ah, nobody wants you now

Down and out

Down and out

Nobody wants you

Oh, hoo, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I don’t mean to take up Too much of your time

But I thought I’d drop this line

Nobody wants you

You see, nobody wants you

Nobody wants you

Nobody wants you now

You’re down and out

I feel like I wanna groove now

Groove, groove on…
