Derek And The Dominos

I Looked Away
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.
And if it seemed a sin
To love another man's woman, baby,
I guess I'll keep on sinning
Loving her, Lord, till my very last day.
But I looked away
And she ran away from me today;
I'm
such a lonely man.
Bell Bottom Blues
Bell bottom blues,
you made me cry.
I don't want to lose this feeling.
And 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 all right.
The way that you treat
me baby.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You won't find a better
loser.
Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye.
I'm sure we're gonna
meet again,
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with
another lover.
I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I long to stay.
Layla
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,
Turned my whole world
upside down.
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.
Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out
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.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna
hang on to it till that eagle grins.
'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.
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody
wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and
out.
Thorn Tree In The Garden
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
That she'd ever 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.
