All I can tell you is it's all show biz
I've been across the water now so many times
Then I'm lying in the darkness
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine
And I'm looking in the mirror to see, ooh
And I know, I can't get to sleep, ooh
I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
And still you ask me, do I love you, what it is, what it is
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
And still you ask me, do I love you, what you say, what you say
Nobody loves you when you're old and gray
I've seen the one-eyed witch doctor leading the blind
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Every time I put my finger on it, it slips away
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
I've been across to the other side
Well, I get up in the morning
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine
Every time I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
