John Lennon — Nobody Loves You When You’re Down and Out

[Chorus] Nobody loves you when you're down and out Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine Everybody's hustling for a buck and a dime I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine [Verse 1] I'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 is All I can tell you is, it's all show biz All I can tell you is, it's all show biz [Chorus] Nobody loves you when you're down and out Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine Everybody's hustling for a buck and a dime I'll scratch your back and you knife mine [Verse 2] I'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 say Every time I put my finger on it, it slips away Every time I put my finger on it, it slips away [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking in the mirror to see Ooo wee! Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep Ooo wee! [Outro] Nobody loves you when you're old and grey Nobody needs you when you're upside down Everybody's hollering about their own birthday Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground
