|
Once upon a time you dressed so fine |
|
Threw the bums a dime in your prime |
|
Oh, didn't you? |
|
Peopled called |
|
Said "Beware, doll, you're bound to fall" |
|
You thought they all were kidding you |
|
You used to laugh about |
|
Everybody that was hanging out |
|
Look at you |
|
But now you don't talk so loud |
|
Now you don't, baby, seem so proud |
|
If I happen to be scrounging your next meal |
|
How does it feel? Oh, how does it feel, baby? |
|
To be on your own with no direction home |
|
Look at you, a complete unknown |
|
Yeah, like a rolling stone |
|
Goin' to the finest school, alright |
|
Miss Lonely, but you know only used to get juiced in it |
|
Nobody here ever taught you how to live on the streets |
|
And now you just gonna have to get used to it |
|
You say you never, you never compromised |
|
With the mystery tramp, but now you, you got to realize |
|
He's not selling any alibis |
|
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes |
|
And he says, hey baby, would you like to make a deal? |
|
How does it feel, baby? How does it feel? |
|
To be on your own, with no direction home |
|
A complete unknown |
|
Look at you, like a rolling stone |
|
Princess of the steeple and all the pretty people |
|
They all laugh and drink and think that they |
|
Got it made |
|
Exchanging all precious gifts and things |
|
But, but, you better take your diamond ring |
|
I think you better, you better pawn it, babe |
|
You used to be so amused |
|
At Napoleon in rags and a sweet talk daddy, you |
|
Go to him, he calls you, you can't refuse |
|
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose |
|
This one now, you got no secrets to conceal |
|
How does it feel? Oh, how does it feel, baby? |
|
To be on your own, no direction home |
|
A complete unknown |
|
Look at you, like a rolling stone |
