Lyrics
What'd you do when you get lonely
And no one is waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much to long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling, please.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
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 up-side-down.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling, please.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
Let's make the best of this situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say "We'll never find the way"
And tell me that all my love's in vain.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling, please.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling, please.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
"'Layla' is a song written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon, originally recorded with their band Derek and the Dominos, as the thirteenth track from their only studio album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970). Its contrasting movements were composed separately by Clapton and Gordon. The piano part has also been controversially credited to Rita Coolidge, Gordon's girlfriend at the time."......Wikipedia
