    My mother named me Laila (Layla) after this song. You cannot understand the connection I have with this song. How many people have sung this to me in my 22 yrs of living or how it makes me feel as it was made for specifically for me. I know it isn’t but I love to think it’s about me.

  • @thelonelyghosts9004

    Just my opinion, but I think what makes this song (specifically this version) so perfect are a few things: the timeless name/idea of “Layla” (could be anyone/anything); the swampy, rolling melody (akin to Fleetwood Mac before Buckingham/Nicks); the walking nature of the lyrics; a tune everyone can sing and hum; and a class act, relatable writer like Eric. It serves not only as a time capsule to millions, but a song that future generations will undoubtedly come to love too.

    What will you do when you get lonely?
    No one waiting by your side
    You've been running, hiding much too long
    You know it's just your foolish pride
    Layla, you got me on my knees
    Layla, begging, darling, please
    Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
    I tried to give you consolation
    When your old man 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?
    Make the best of the situation
    Before I finally go insane
    Please don't say we'll never find a way
    Or tell me all my love's in vain
    Layla, you got me on my knees
    Layla, I am begging, darling, please
    Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

    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.
    I tried to give you consolation
    When your old man had let you down.
    Like a fool, I fell in love with you.
    You've turned my whole world upside down.
    Layla,
    You've 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've got me on my knees, Layla.
    I'm begging, darling please, Layla.
    Darling won't you ease my worried mind.
    Layla,
    You've got me on my knees, Layla.
    I'm begging, darling please, Layla.
    Darling won't you ease my worried mind.
