Lyrics
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Once I lived a life of luxury and wealth.
Spending my money, I didn't care
I spent my money carelessly and without concern.
Taking my friends out for a mighty good time
I would treat my friends to enjoyable experiences.
I bought that bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
I purchased illegal alcohol (bootleg liquor), champagne, and wine.
Oh, but then my money began to fall so low
My finances declined significantly.
Couldn't find no friends, I had no place to go
I lost my friends and had nowhere to go.
And if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
If I ever have money again, I'll hold onto it tightly.
I'm gonna hold on till that eagle grins
I'll hold onto money tightly, emphasizing its value.
'Cause I found out that nobody wants you
Realized that when you're struggling, people don't want to be around you.
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
No one desires your company when you're facing hardship.
When in your pocket, oh, there's, not one penny
When you're penniless, friends are nowhere to be found.
You found out your friends, oh, you just haven't got any
When you're in need, you realize you lack genuine friends.
But oh, just as soon as you get up on your feet again
As soon as you recover, people suddenly appear, claiming friendship.
Here they all come saying their your long lost friend
People show up as if they've always been your friend.
But oh Lord, I found out, without a doubt
Realized that nobody truly cares when you're in trouble.
That nobody wants ya, and no, nobody need ya
No one wants or needs you when you're in a bad state.
I found out that nobody wants you
Reiterating that nobody wants you when you're in a difficult situation.
When you're down and out
Highlighting the loneliness and isolation during tough times.
Oh say that again, no, nobody wants ya
Emphasizing that nobody desires your presence during hardship.
Nobody wants ya when you're down, when you're down and out
No one wants to be associated with you when you're struggling.
When in your pocket oh there's not one penny
When you're broke, friends are nowhere to be found.
You found out your friends, oh you just haven't got any
Realization that in times of need, friends are absent.
Oh, just as soon as you, as you get up on your feet again
As soon as you recover, people suddenly appear, claiming friendship.
Here they all come saying their your long lost friend
People show up as if they've always been your friend.
But oh Lord, I found out, without a doubt
Realized that nobody truly cares when you're in trouble.
That nobody wants ya, no no no no nobody need ya
No one wants or needs you when you're in a bad state.
I found out that nobody wants you
Reiterating that nobody wants you when you're in a difficult situation.
When you're down and out
Highlighting the loneliness and isolation during tough times.
No, no, no, nobody need ya, no, no, nobody needs ya
No one desires your presence when you're facing hardship.
No, nobody wants you when you're down and out
Emphasizing that nobody wants to be associated with you when you're struggling.
