Nobody's Loves You When You're Down and Out

John Lennon

Transposer:

Intro : 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 Oo oo wee Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep Oo oo wee Nobody loves you when you're old and gray 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

Cette chanson évoque la solitude et l'indifférence que l'on peut ressentir dans les moments difficiles de la vie. Elle souligne comment les gens peuvent disparaître lorsque l'on traverse des épreuves, mais être présents quand tout va bien. Le message met également en lumière l'hypocrisie des relations, où l'apparence et l'intérêt personnel prédominent souvent sur la véritable affection. Le texte réfléchit sur la nature des liens humains, où l'amour et le soutien semblent conditionnés par des circonstances extérieures, et où la lutte pour surmonter les obstacles laisse souvent un sentiment d'isolement. On ressent un contraste fort entre les hauts et les bas, illustrant ainsi la fragilité des relations humaines à travers le temps et les épreuves.
