Layla - Derek and the Dominoes (1970)

by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon

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.
THE BRAVE MAN NEVER GOES ON HIS KNEES FOR A WOMAN
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
THE BRAVE MAN NEVER BEGS
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
CONSEQUENTLY HE NEVER HAS A 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,
A REAL MAN NEVER CALLS HIMSELF A FOOL.
Turned my whole world upside down.
AND NO WOMAN CAN TURN HIS WORLD UPISDE DOWN. TRUTH WOULDNT PERMIT IT.

Chorus

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
A MAN WHO WOULD GO INSANE OVER A WOMAN IS FEEBLE MINDED AT BEST.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
