LAYLA

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?
