Layla, you've got me on my knees Layla, I'm 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

'Cause I know this whole crazy ride's in your hands Hello, it's been too long My fault I haven't called Thank you for picking up the phone I've been swimming around Trying hard not to drown Waiting on my life calling to sound And I'm hangin' on best as I

It's been a long A long time comin' But I know a change is gonna come Oh, yes it will I was born by the river

You can have the house Girl all I want you to leave me is alone You can have the money You can have every penny that I will make from this here song Don't act surprised it ain't like you didn't know It's been a long long time comin' and it's time for me

(I'm feeling better since you know me) (I was a lonely soul, but that's the old me) It's been a long time coming since I've seen your face I've been everywhere and back trying to replace Heart still beating but it's not working But with you, I feel again

Still in love with you Baby it's you I know I've been lying to myself You and I were over long ago Don't know why my heart's the last to know I don't wanna believe it But what can I do Visions haunt my memory They hold on, hold on desperately

You don't know how hard it can be Now my only company's a half full glass of wine Leave me no choice but to plot my revenge It's been so long Since I've held your hand Said you wouldn't be home late tonight I gave up waiting at seventeen past midnight

And every time I close my eyes And you've got me too (You've got me too) And every time I think of it, I pinch myself 'cause Girl, it's been a long, long time comin' yes it has But I, I know that it's been worth the wait yeah It feels like springtime in

After all, I'm just a man I'm a blue collar man had a hammer in my hand For the last few years of my life Working double overtime While you sleep alone at night Baby I know it's been a long hard ride Sometimes I forget to say I love you But baby please

'Cause I know this whole crazy ride's in your hands Hello, it's been too long My fault I haven't called Thank you for picking up the phone I've been swimming around Trying hard not to drown Waiting on my life calling to sound And I'm hangin' on best as I
