Lyrics
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, honey, Lord, I just didn't care, no
Taking my friends out, having a mighty good time
We drink that strong bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine
And oh Lord, just as soon as my money got so low
I couldn't find my friend, Lord, and I just didn't have no place to go
And if I ever, and if I ever get my hands on them dollars again, yeah
I'm gonna hold on to that ego grin
I'm trying to tell y'all that nobody wants you
People, nobody wants you when they find out that you're down and out
When in your pocket, no, there is not one penny
And all of them so-called friends
I'm trying to tell you that you don't have any, but
Oh, just let you get back on your feet again
And here they all come telling you, huh, they're your long lost friend
This I want to tell you and without it, I got no doubt
That nobody wants you when you're down and out
Oh, I got to say for me this time
Nobody wants you, no no no
Nobody wants you when they find out that you're down and out
Ah, yeah, and in your pocket, huh, there is not one penny
And all of them so-called friends
I'm trying to tell you that you don't have any
And oh, just let you get up on your feet again
And here they all come telling you, Joe
Boy, ha ha, I'm your long lost friend, oh
This I want to tell you and without it, I have no doubt
Nobody wants you, no, nobody needs you
Nobody wants you, boy, when they find out that you're down and out
Do they have a good thing to say about you, huh?
They can't say, I know something good about you
Ooh, ooh, tell you they're your friend
Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Spending my money, honey, Lord, I just didn't care, no
Taking my friends out, having a mighty good time
We drink that strong bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine
And oh Lord, just as soon as my money got so low
I couldn't find my friend, Lord, and I just didn't have no place to go
And if I ever, and if I ever get my hands on them dollars again, yeah
I'm gonna hold on to that ego grin
I'm trying to tell y'all that nobody wants you
People, nobody wants you when they find out that you're down and out
When in your pocket, no, there is not one penny
And all of them so-called friends
I'm trying to tell you that you don't have any, but
Oh, just let you get back on your feet again
And here they all come telling you, huh, they're your long lost friend
This I want to tell you and without it, I got no doubt
That nobody wants you when you're down and out
Oh, I got to say for me this time
Nobody wants you, no no no
Nobody wants you when they find out that you're down and out
Ah, yeah, and in your pocket, huh, there is not one penny
And all of them so-called friends
I'm trying to tell you that you don't have any
And oh, just let you get up on your feet again
And here they all come telling you, Joe
Boy, ha ha, I'm your long lost friend, oh
This I want to tell you and without it, I have no doubt
Nobody wants you, no, nobody needs you
Nobody wants you, boy, when they find out that you're down and out
Do they have a good thing to say about you, huh?
They can't say, I know something good about you
Ooh, ooh, tell you they're your friend
Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
