You found your greener pastures in a mansion on a hill
With a flashy foreign car to drive and lots of time to kill
But my mind goes on remembering the days of me and you
When we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you

You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of
And through the days of dark and lean, we could always live on love
With his style of life he lured you, and you could not refuse
But when we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you

When you honeymooned in Paris, it was carried on the news
And I heard you laughed your cares away on a Caribbean cruise

You were always one for dreaming, now you're dreams can all come true
But when we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you

You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of
And through the days of dark and lean, we could always live on love
With his style of life, he lured you, and you could not refuse
But when we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you

Yes, when we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you
