Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didn't you?
People call, say "Beware, doll, you're bound to fall."
You thought they were all kiddin' you.
You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin' out,
But now you don't talk so loud, Now you don't seem so proud,
About havin' to be scroungin' your next meal.
How does it feel? How does it feel.
To be on your own. With no direction home.
A complete unknown. Like a rollin' stone.
You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
When you got nothin' you got nothin' to lose
Your invisible now you've got no secrets to conceal.
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn't you?
(repeat above sequence)
You used to laugh about everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
How does it feel
and so on
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didn't you?
People call, say "Beware, doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin' out
But now you don't talk so loud, Now you don't seem so proud
About havin' to be scroungin' your next meal
How does it feel? How does it feel
To be without a home Like a complete unknown
Like a rollin' stone
You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lonely
When you got nothin' you got nothin' to lose
You're invisible now you've got no secrets to conceal
