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

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

Hmmm, mmmm, mmmm
Oh yeah
Hmmm, mmmm, mmmm

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spendin' my money, honey,
Oh, I didn't care
Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time
Drinkin' that good gin, champagne and wine

Awww, 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'd 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
Hmmm, mmmm
Wait a minute

When in your pocket there's not one penny,
Old man and good friend,
I'm tellin' ya to find out if I haven't got any
But as soon as I get up on my feet again,
Here they all come tellin' you,
"Boy, these are your long lost friends"

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Let me tell you 'bout it
Nobody wants ya
Ahhhh, nobody wants you now down and out,
Down and out
Nobody wants ya

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
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 ya
It seems nobody wants ya
Nobody wants ya
Yeah, nobody wants ya now,
You down and out
I feel I'm gonna do, whoowhoa
