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
