Mark Knopfler & Eric Clapton - Layla Lyrics

Lyrics

Whatll you do when you get lonely
No one waiting by your side?
Youve been running and hiding much too long.
You know its just your foolish pride.

Layla, youve got me on my knees.
Layla, Im begging, darling please.
Layla, darling wont 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.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please dont say well never find a way
And tell me all my loves in vain.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please dont say well never find a way
And tell me all my loves in vain.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please dont say well never find a way
And tell me all my loves in vain.
