Eric Clapton - Nobody Knows You When You´re Down And Out
Album: Unplugged

Once I lived a life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, didn´t have any cares.
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time.
Bought bootleg liquor champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again,
I´ll hang on to it ´til that old eagle grins.

´Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you´re down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don´t have any.

When you get back on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend.
I said it straight without any doubt,

Nobody knows you when you´re down and out.

´Cause nobody knows you, when you´re down and out.
In your pocket not one penny,
and as for friends you don´t have any.
when you get back on your feet again.
everybody wants to be your long lost friend.
I said it straigt without any doubt,
nobody knows you,
nobody knows you,
nobody knows you when you´re down and out.
