| 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 |
