Chorus

Nobody loves you when you`re down and out

Nobody sees you when you`re on cloud nine

Everybody`s hustlin` for a buck and a dime

I`ll scratch your back and you scratch mine

Verse

I`ve been across to the other side

I`ve shown you everything, I got nothing to hide

But 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 hustlin` for a buck and a dime

I`ll scratch your back and you knife mine

Verse

I`ve been across the water now so many times

I`ve seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind

But still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say

Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away

Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away

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!

Chorus

Nobody loves you when you`re old and grey

Nobody needs you when you`re upside down

Everybody`s hollerin` `bout their own birthday

Everybody loves you when you`re six foot in the ground
