Nobody Loves You (When You're Down and Out) Lyrics


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 mineI'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 isAll I can tell you is it's all show biz
All I can tell you is it's all show bizNobody 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 mineI've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one-eyed witch doctor leading the blind
And still you ask me, do I love you, what you say, what you sayEvery time I put my finger on it, it slips away
Every time I put my finger on it, it slips awayWell, I get up in the morning
And I'm looking in the mirror to see, ooh
Then I'm lying in the darkness
And I know, I can't get to sleep, oohNobody loves you when you're old and gray
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

John Winston Ono Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician, singer, songwriter, and peace activist, born in Liverpool, UK who gained worldwide fame as a founding member of The Beatles. With Paul McCartney, Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century and "wrote some of the most popular music in rock and roll history". He is ranked the second most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history after Paul McCartney.

Lennon revealed a rebellious nature, and biting wit, in his music, on film, in books, and at press conferences and interviews. He was controversial through his work as a peace activist and artist. After The Beatles, Lennon enjoyed a successful solo career (that started in 1968, 2 years before the break-up of The Beatles) with such acclaimed albums as John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After a self-imposed "retirement" to raise his son, Lennon reemerged with a comeback album, Double Fantasy, but was murdered less than one month after its release. The album would go on to win the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
