Once upon a time you dressed so fine Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you Peopled called you, said 'beware the doll, you're bound to fall', You thought they were all kidding you You used to laugh about Everybody else that was hanging out Now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging around for your next meal How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own In no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone
