Once I lived the life of a millionaire
I spent all my money, now I didn't care
Took all my friends out for a good time
I bought them all whiskey, I bought them champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low, nobody with me and nowhere to go
If I have a-get my hands on a dollar again
I'll keep it baby, until he goes grands
Cause nobody knows you when you're down and out
It's might a strange without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
When you're down and out
Oh nobody knows you when you're down and out
In my pocket not one penny, and my friends, they're meant it
Cause nobody knows you when you're down and out
When you're down and out, when you're down and out.
