Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
(Chorus)
I tried to run, tried to hide
Break down and cry, thinking she might change her mind
But nothing, really nothing, gonna help at all
Nothin', Layla (La, la, la)
(Verse 2)
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
(Chorus)
I tried to run, tried to hide
Break down and cry, thinking she might change her mind
But nothing, really nothing, gonna help at all
Nothin', Layla (La, la, la)
(Bridge)
Layla, I've got to know
If your love for me is a sin or in vain (or in vain)
Is there a way (is there a way), out of this darkness?
Are we going to stay (stay) trapped by this madness (this madness)
(Chorus)
I tried to run, tried to hide
Break down and cry, thinking she might change her mind
But nothing, really nothing, gonna help at all
Nothin', Layla (I've got to know)
Nothin', Layla (If your love)
Nothin', Layla (Is a sin or in vain)
Nothin', Layla (Is there a way, is there a way)
Nothin', Layla (Out of this darkness?)
Nothin', Layla (Are we goin' to stay, stay)
Nothin', Layla (Trapped by this madness?, this madness)
(Outro)
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
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
