🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Nobody loves you when you’re down and outNobody sees you when you’re on cloud nineEverybody’s hustlin’ for a buck and a dimeI’ll scratch your back and you scratch mineI’ve been across to the other sideI’ve shown you everything, I got nothing to hideBut still you ask me, do I love you?What it is? What it is?All I can tell you is it’s all show bizAll I can tell you is it’s all show bizNobody loves you when you’re down and outNobody knows you when you’re on cloud nineEverybody’s hustlin’ for a buck and a dimeI’ll scratch your back and you knife mineI’ve been across the water now so many timesI’ve seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blindBut still you ask me, do I love you?What you say? What you say?Every time I put my finger on it, it slips awayEvery time I put my finger on it, it slips awayWell, I get up in the morningAnd I’m looking in the mirror to see, oo-wee!Then I’m lying in the darknessAnd I know I can’t get to sleep, oo-wee!Nobody loves you when you’re old and greyNobody needs you when you’re upside downEverybody’s hollerin’ ’bout their own birthdayEverybody loves you when you’re six foot in the ground
