Layla (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What do you do when you get lonely
Nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running, hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride

[Chorus]
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

[Verse 2]
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, fell in love with you
You turned my whole world upside down

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

[Verse 3]
Make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don’t say we'll never find a way
Tell me all my love's in vain
[Chorus]
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?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
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?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
