Lyrics
Layla
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waitin by your side
You've been runnin and hidin much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, I'm beggin darlin, please
Layla, darlin, won't you ease my worried mind
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 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
Don't tell me all my love's in vain
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, I'm beggin darlin, please
Layla, darlin, won't you ease my worried mind
