What'll you do when you get lonely

And nobody's waiting by your side

You've been running, hiding much too long

You know it's just your foolish pride



Layla, you 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 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 got me on my knees

Layla, I'm begging darling, please

Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind



(repeat)
