Eric Clapton - Layla Lyrics






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've 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

[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

    What'll you do when you get lonely
    And nobody's waitin' by your side?
    You've been runnin' an' hidin' much too long
    You know it's just your foolish pride
    Layla, you've got me on my knees
    Layla, I'm beggin', darlin' please
    Layla, darlin', won't you ease my worried mind
    I tried to give you consolation
    When your own man had let you down
    Like a fool, I fell in love with you
    Turned my whole world, upside down
    Layla, you've got me on my knees
    Layla, I'm beggin', darlin' please
    Layla, darlin', 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
    An' tell me all my love's in vain
    Layla, you've got me on my knees

    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
    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

    Lucky it was layla and not cocaine ha

  76. z.... a....

    those who have been listening to this song for years probably know this.
    But for those who don’t:
    Layla and qays were in love since they were kids. Their families didn’t let
    them marry. Later Layla married ibn-salam (or in this case, poor George Harrison!) So qays isolated himself and went to live in desert and only talked to animals. Thus gained the nickname majnoon (insane). Meanwhile Layla wouldn’t let her husband even touch her until he died. Not long after, Layla also dies, grieving over majnoon. He visits her grave to say goodbye. He leans against the grave for hours, days and weeks, without people daring to get close to him, for he was surrounded by animals. Many days later, when animals finally left, majnoon was found dead, still leaning against laylas grave.
    This story is based on reality. Although it is NOT the most beautiful
    love story ever, but Persian poet nizami ganjavi turned it into a timeless
    masterpiece.
    Sorry for my poor English J

  79. M.... H....

    This woman patti Boyd must of been pretty amazing in her day to have this song written about her and the song something also written about her too
