Once upon a time you dressed so fine You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People'd 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 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? How does it feel? To be on your own? Like a complete unknown? Like a rolling stone? ♪ Ooh, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people They are drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made Exchanging all precious gifts But you better lift your diamond ring You better pawn it, babe You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own? With no direction home? A complete unknown? Like a rolling stone? ♪ How does it feel? Oh, how does it feel? To be on your own? With no direction home? A complete unknown? Like a rolling stone? Like a rolling stone?
