"She walked up to me and she asked me to dance.
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice
she said, "Layla"
L-A-Y-L-A Layla, lay lay lay Layla

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy,
but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Layla, lay lay lay Layla, lay lay lay Layla

Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
why she walks like a dog and talks like a man
Oh my Layla, lay lay lay Layla, lay lay lay Layla

Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy,
but when I looked in her eyes,
I almost fell for my Layla,
Lay lay lay Layla, lay lay lay Layla

Girls will be dogs, and dogs will be girls.
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world,
except for Layla. Lay lay lay Layla, lay lay lay Layla."

(apologies to the Kinks)

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.

CHORUS:
Layla, you've 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,
Turned my whole world upside down.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

CHORUS

Clapton
