Derek and the Dominos Album

She took my hand
And tried to make me understand
That she would always be there
But I looked away
And she ran away from me today
I'm such a lonely man

It came as no surprise to me
That she'd leave me in misery
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow that she'd never walk away

She took my hand
To try to make me understand
That she would always be there
But I looked away
And she ran away from me today
I'm such a lonely man

And if it seemed a sin
To love another man's woman, baby
I guess I'll keep on sinning
Loving her, Lord, to my very last day

But I looked away
And she ran away from me today
I'm such a lonely man

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
If I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

It's all wrong but it's alright
The way that you treat me, baby
Once I was strong but I lost the fight
But you won't find a better loser

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye
We're surely gonna meet again
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover, oh

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

I was laughing
Playing in the streets, I was unknowing
I didn't know my fate

Playing
The game of love but never really showing
I thought that love would wait

I was a young man and I was sure to go astray
You walked right into my life and told me, 'love would find a way'

Keep on growing, keep on going, keep on flowing

I was standing
Looking at the face of one who loved me
Feeling so ashamed

Hoping
Praying, Lord, that she could understand me
But I didn't know her name

She took my hand in hers and then told me I was wrong
She said, 'You're gonna be alright, boy, whoa, just as long..'

Keep on growing, keep on going, keep on flowing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Baby

Baby
Someday, baby, who knows where or when, girl
Just you wait and see

We'll be walking
Together hand in hand alone as lovers
Will it still be me?

Times gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true
Our love's gonna keep on glowing
And growing is all we're gonna do

Keep on growing, keep on glowing, keep on flowing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it 'til that eagle grins, yeah

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

But when you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, yeah
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

I am yours
However distant you may be
There blows no wind, but wafts your scent to me
There sings no bird, but calls your name to me
Each memory that has left it's trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me

I am yours

You were talking and I thought I heard you say
"Please leave me alone.
Nothing in this world can make me stay.
I'd rather go back, I'd rather go back home."

But if you believed in me like I believe in you,
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly.
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.

Well someday baby, I know you're gonna need me
When this old world has got you down.
I'll be right here, so woman call me
And I'll never ever let you down.

Chorus


And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.

To break the glass and twist the knife into yourself;
You've got to be a fool to understand.
To bring your woman back home after she's left you for another,
You've got to be a, you've got to be a man.

Chorus

Anyday, anyday, I will see you, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.
Anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, just for a little, just for a little while.

I got the key to the highway,
Billed out and bound to go.
I'm gonna leave here running;
Walking is most too slow.

I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known.
You know you haven't done nothing,
Drove a good man away from home.

Live Verse: When the moon peeks over the mountains
I'll be on my way.


I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day.

Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go,
'Cause when I leave this time you know I,
I won't be back no more.

Chorus
Chorus

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Gotta find me a way
Get me back to yesterday
How can I ever hope to forget you
Won't you show me a place
Where I could hide my lonely face
I know you're gonna break my heart if I let you

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?

Like a moth to the flame
Like a song without a name
I've never been the same since I met you
Like a bird on the wing
Got a brand new song to sing
I can't keep from singing about you

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?

I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me
I might have to break the law when I find you
Stop running away
I got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so ...

Have you ever loved a woman so much you tremble in pain?
Have you ever loved a woman so much you tremble in pain?
And all the time you know she bears another man's name.

But you just love that woman so much it's a shame and a sin.
You just love that woman so much it's a shame and a sin.


But all the time you know she belongs to your very best friend.

Have you ever loved a woman and you know you can't leave her alone?
Have you ever loved a woman and you know you can't leave her alone?
Something deep inside of you won't let you wreck your best friend's home.

Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running around
Butterflies and zebras and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about

And when I'm sad, she comes to me
A thousand smiles she gives to me free
Said it's all right, take anything you want from me
(Anything you want, babe) (Anything)

Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running around
Butterflies and zebras and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about

And when I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
Said it's all right, take anything you want from me, baby
(Anything you want) (Anything)

Whoo
Fly on little wing
Baby, baby

(Chorus:)
It's too late, she's gone.
It's too late, my baby's gone.
Wish I had told her she was my only one.
It's too late, she's gone.

It's a woman that cries,
So I guess I've gotta hide my eyes.
Yes, I will miss her more than anyone.
It's too late, she's gone.

She's gone, yes she's gone.
She's gone, my baby's gone.
She's gone, yes she's gone.
Where can my baby be?

And I wonder does she know
When she left me, it hurt me so.
I need your love babe, please don't make me wait.
Tell me it's not too late.

(Chorus)

(Repeat Third Verse)

What'll you do when you get lonely
But 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 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?

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo

There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean
And I hate to hurt your feelings but it's not the way it seems
'Cause I miss her

She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known
And no one ever shared more love than we've known
And I miss her

But it all seems so strange to see
'Cause she'd never turn her back on me
And leave without a last goodbye
And if she winds up walking the streets
Loving every other man she meets
Who'll be the one to answer why
Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me

And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand
And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand
But I miss that girl
I still miss that girl

Maybe someday soon, somewhere
