Song lyrics

Send "Layla" ringtones to your cell

What will you do when you get lonely
When nobody's waitin' by your side?
You've been running and 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?

Layla, you got me on my knees.  Layla,
I'm begging darling please.  Layla,
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
