“layla” (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
you’ve 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

layla,
you’ve got me on my knees, layla.
i’m begging, darling please, layla
darling won’t you ease my worried mind

[guitar solo]

layla,
you’ve got me on my knees, layla
i’m begging, darling please, layla
darling won’t you ease my worried mind?
