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.
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.
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.
I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
And 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.
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!
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.

nobody loves you, 이 음악은 존 레넌 음악 중에서도 그다지 즐겨듣는 음악은 아닌데 오늘밤 가사를 곰곰히 되새기다가 마치 무언가 특별한것처럼 느껴져서 가사를 해석하면서 들어보았다. 그렇게 많은 사랑을 받았는데도 단지 사랑받고 싶었다고 말하는 이 남자 너무 외로워 보인다. 자기 방어가 강했던 이 사람 어찌 보면 한없이 어린애같기도 하고..사실 울줄도 모르는 바보였다네..
