Layla
Original lyrics by Eric Clapton

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know
It's just your foolish pride

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
You turned my whole world upside down

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind
