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)
