From "Eric Clapton & Friends in Concert: A Benefit for the Crossroads Centre at Antigua"
--
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.
[Chorus:] 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, Turned my whole world upside down.
[Chorus]
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.
