Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Layla
You've got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging, darling please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind
[Verse 2]
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside down
[Chorus]
Layla
You've got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging, darling please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Layla
You've got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging, darling please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind
[Chorus]
Layla (Layla)
You've got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging, darling please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind
Written by: Clapton, Eric, Jim Gordon
