John Lennon - Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out) lyrics

rate me

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
