Nobody but You
Janice and Sonia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
YOU TRIED TO LIVE THE LIFE OF A MILLIONAIRE
SPENT ALL MY MONEY, YOU DIDN’T CARE
TOOK ALL OUR FRIENDS OUT FOR A GOOD TIME
BOUGHT EM BOURBON WHISKEY AND FINE WINE
YOU LEFT ME AND I FELL SO LOW
IF I GET MY HANDS ON A DOLLAR AGAIN
I’M GONNA HANG ON TO IT TILL THAT EAGLE GRINS
CAUSE NO, NOBODY KNOWS YOU
WHEN YOU’RE DOWN AND OUT
IN MY POCKET, NOT ONE PENNY
AND AS FOR FRIENDS, I DON’T HAVE ANY
WHEN I FINALLY GET BACK ON MY FEET AGAIN
YOU’LL WANT TO BE MY OLD LONG LOST FRIEND
THEY SAY IT’S MIGHTY STRANGE, WITHOUT A DOUBT
NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU’RE DOWN AND OUT
WHEN I FINALLY GET BACK ON MY FEET AGAIN
YOU’LL WANT TO BE MY OLD LONG LOST FRIEND
THEY SAY IT’S MIGHTY STRANGE, WITHOUT A DOUBT
NOBODY KNOWS YOU
NOBODY KNOWS YOU
NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU’RE DOWN AND OUT
The lyrics to "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" by Janice and Sonia convey a sense of betrayal and isolation, highlighting the fickle nature of relationships and friendships during times of hardship. The song tells the story of someone who was living a lavish lifestyle as a millionaire, surrounded by friends who enjoyed their wealth. However, when the singer loses all their money and falls on hard times, their friends abandon them, leaving them with nothing and no one to turn to.
The lyrics speak to the emotional toll of this experience, as the singer reflects on how their life has drastically changed. They express feelings of loneliness and despair, emphasizing the lack of support and understanding from those who once claimed to be their friends. The lines "In my pocket, not one penny/ And as for friends, I don't have any" encapsulate the singer's current state of destitution and abandonment.
The song also hints at the singer's resilience and determination to overcome their situation. They declare that if they are fortunate enough to regain wealth, they will remember the pain of being left behind and will hold onto their money tightly. Ultimately, the lyrics serve as a commentary on the superficiality of relationships based on wealth and the importance of true companionship during times of need.

You Know I still Love You Baby.
And it will never change.
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
Why are you trying to, to make me leave ya
I know what you're thinking
Baby why aren't you listening
How can I just
Just love someone else and
Forget you completely
When I know you still love me
Telling me you're not good enough
My life with you is just too tough
You know it's not right so
Just stop and come back boy
How can this be
When we were meant to be
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
Why can't we just, just be like this
Cause it's you that I need and nothing else until the end
Who else can ever make me feel the way I
I feel when I'm with you, no one will ever do
Telling me you're not good enough
My life with you is just too tough
You know me enough so
You know what I need boy
Right next to you is where I need to be.
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
I don't want no body, body
I don't want no body, body
Honey you know it's you that I want, it's you that I need
Why can't you see~
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
Back to the days when we were so young and wild and free
Nothing else matters other than you and me
So tell me why can't it be
Please let me live my life my way
Why do you push me away
I don't want nobody nobody nobody nobody but you

It's so awesome how the Aussie accent literally disappears when they sing but reappears when they talk.
Such an admirable magic trick :)
