Tell The Truth lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
Tell the truth. Tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth. Who's been fooling who?

There you sit there, looking so cool
While the whole show is passing you by.
You better come to terms with your fellow men soon, cause...

The whole world is shaking now. Can't you feel it?
A new dawn is breaking now. Can't you see it?

[Chorus]

It doesn't matter just who you are,
Or where you're going or been.
Open your eyes and look into your heart.

The whole world is shaking now. Can't you feel it?
A new dawn is breaking now. Can't you see it?
I said see it, yeah, can't you see it?
Can't you see it, yeah, can't you see it?
I can see it, yeah.

[Chorus]

Hear what I say, 'cause every word is true.
You know I wouldn't tell you no lies.
Your time's coming, gonna be soon, boy.

Roll It Over lyrics - Eric Clapton

Go down easy and let me take my time.
Go down easy and let me take my time.
Rock me slow till I lose my mind.

[Chorus:]
Roll it over, let's take it from behind.
Roll it over, let's take it from behind.
It's only love, God knows it ain't no crime.

You don't know how much it means to be here in your arms.
Roll it over.
Roll it over.

Layla lyrics - Eric Clapton

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.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus 2x]

Mean Old World lyrics - Eric Clapton

This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself.
This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself.
Can't get the one you love, have to use somebody else.

I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go.
I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go.
Guess you don't love me, babe, loving mister so-and-so.

Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold?
Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold?
I guess you don't love me, gonna pack my things and go.

Key To The Highway lyrics - Eric Clapton

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.

[Repeat First Verse]

Crossroads lyrics - Eric Clapton

I went down to the crossroads,
Fell down on my knees.
Down to the crossroads,
Fell down on my knees.
Asked the Lord above for mercy,
"Save me if you please."

I went down to the crossroads,
Tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads,
Tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me,
Everybody passed me by.

I'm going down to Rosedale,
Take my rider by my side.
Going down to Rosedale,
Take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby,
On the riverside.

You can run, you can run,
Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.
You can run, you can run,
Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.
And I'm standing at the crossroads,
Believe I'm sinking down.

Got To Get Better In A Little While lyrics - Eric Clapton

Don't you know what's wrong with me?
I'm seeing things I don't want to see.
Sniffing things that ain't no good for me.
I'm going down fast, won't you say a prayer for me?

[Chorus:]
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.

The sun's got to shine on my guitar someday.

Revolution all across the land.
Just like Sly, you got to take a stand.
Please don't hurt nobody, don't knock them down;
Give them a helping hand to get off the ground.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Still one thing that you can do;
Fall down on your knees and pray.
I know the Lord's gonna answer you.
Don't do it tomorrow, do it today.

[Chorus]

Evil lyrics - Eric Clapton

It's a long way from home,
Can't sleep at night.
Call on your telephone;
Something just ain't right.
That's evil, evil is going on wrong.
I want to warn you brother,
You better watch your happy home.

You make it to your house,
Knock on the front door,
Run 'round to the back;
You'll catch him just before he goes.
That's evil, evil is going on.
I have warned you brother,
You better watch your happy home.

If you call on the telephone
And she answers long and slow,
Grab the first thing smoking
And you have to haul her home. (*)
That's evil, evil is going on wrong.
I have warned you brother,
You better watch your happy home.

One More Chance lyrics - Eric Clapton

Give me one more chance to make it up to you.
Give me one more chance to show what I can do.
Let me prove to you that my love is strong.
Won't you come back home, that's where you belong.

[Chorus:]
Oh baby, won't you give me one more chance?
Won't you give me one more chance?

Well, the sun won't shine and it refuse to rain,
And I bang my heard, but I feel no pain.
Then I tell myself that I could start anew,
But I know darn well it all depends on you.

[Chorus]

So if you hear this song, you might change your mind
And give a thought to me, I won't be hard to find,
And I'll promise you to do the best I can,
Change my evil ways and be your loving man.

[Chorus]

So, give me one more chance to make it up to you.
Give me one more chance to show what I can do.
Let me prove to you that my love is strong.
Won't you come back home, that's where you belong.

Oh baby, won't you give me one more chance?
Won't you give me one more chance?
Won't you give me one more chance?

Ain't That Lovin' You lyrics - Eric Clapton

You don't know me, baby,
Like I know myself.
I just want to love you, baby,
But you leave me on the shelf.

[Chorus:]
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
But you don't even know my name.

Let me tell you something,
I swear to God it's true.
If you give your love to me,
I'm gonna give it all to you, you know it's true.

[Chorus]

They may kill me, baby,
And bury me like they do.
My body will lie, but my spirit's gonna find
Only you.

[Chorus]

I Found A Love lyrics - Eric Clapton

What would you do if I told you that I'm falling in love again?
I found a love that will hold my hand and baby she understands
A way to make my heart beat faster.
Is this heaven we're living in?
A way to make my life worth living.
I've fallen in love again.

I've got to ask you now, baby:

What would you say if I told you that I'm falling in love again?
I found a love that will hold my hand and baby she understands
A way to make my heart beat faster.
Is this heaven we're living in?
A way to make my life worth living.
I've fallen in love again.

It Hurts Me Too lyrics - Eric Clapton

You said you was hurting,
Almost lost your mind,
And the man you love,
He hurts you all the time.

[Chorus:]
When things go wrong,
Go wrong with you,
It hurts me, too.

You love him more
When you should love him less.
I pick up behind him
And take his mess.

[Chorus]

He love another woman
And I love you,
But you love him
And stick to him like glue.

[Chorus]

Now you better leave him;
He better put you down.
Oh, I won't stand
To see you pushed around.

Knockin' On Heaven's Door lyrics - Eric Clapton

Ma, take this badge off of me.
I can't use it any more.
It's getting dark, too dark to see.
Feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

[Chorus:]
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.

I can't shoot them any more.
There's a long black cloud following me.
Feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Someone Like You lyrics - Eric Clapton

I got up this morning and fell out of bed
Trying to make it to the door.
The wind was high, I didn't have much time,
Trying to find a man to score.

And then you came up on the other side
To brighten up my day.
I knew right away
That this could be my day.

[Chorus:]
Someone like you
Could make me change my ways.
Someone like you
Could turn the nights into days.

There you were, standing
On a crowded street.
You looked so good, though the air was bad,
Walking through the fog.

[Chorus]

I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.
I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.

[Chorus 2x]

Further On Up The Road lyrics - Eric Clapton

Further on up the road
Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road
Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road,
Baby, just you wait and see.

You gotta reap just what you sow;
That old saying is true.
You gotta reap just what you sow;
That old saying is true.
Just like you mistreat someone,
Someone's gonna mistreat you.

You been laughing, pretty baby,
Someday you're gonna be crying.
You been laughing, pretty baby,
Someday you're gonna be crying.
Further on up the road
You'll find out I wasn't lying.

Further on up the road
Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road
Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road,
Baby, just you wait and see.

Heaven Is One Step Away lyrics - Eric Clapton

We searched all through the night.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
I knew something wasn't right.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.

[Chorus:]
And they say heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

And then there came the dawn:
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
I just had to carry on.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.

[Chorus]

We didn't leave till a quarter to three.
All your friends, they were laughing at me.
I don't get it, I don't understand;
Who is that man holding your hand?

[Repeat First Verse]

[Chorus]

Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

Too Bad lyrics - Eric Clapton

It's too bad I don't love you
For you have worried me night and day.
It's too bad I don't love you
For you have worried me night and day.
Till my heart begins to stammer
And my hair is turning gray.

It's too bad I don't need you
Because we get along so good.
It's too bad I don't need you
Because we get along so good.
You must be thinking, 'bout this time
That my poor heart is made of wood.

It's too bad I don't miss you
'Cause you are always on my mind.
It's too bad I don't miss you
'Cause you are always on my mind.
I want to stay around your circle
And learn to love you all the time.

Wanna Make Love To You lyrics - Eric Clapton

How can I explain
This feeling that's true?
Honey, I can't hardly stand it,
I wanna make love to you.

I ain't gonna try to tell you
How it's made me so blue,
Sitting alone here and wondering.
I wanna make love to you.

When the stars fall from the heavens
And the rivers, they stop their flow,
If you just stop and talk to me,
Honey, that's when I'll know.

[Chorus:]
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.

Please, stop and tell me,
Tell me you want me too.
Come on, baby,
I wanna make love to you.

[Chorus]

Oh, darling.

[Chorus 3x]

"August" (1986)

It's In The Way That You Use It lyrics - Eric Clapton

It's in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It's in the way that you use it,
Boy don't you know.

And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.

Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone.

[Repeat First Chorus 2x]

[Repeat Second Chorus]

I've seen dark skies, never like this.
Walked on some thin ice, never like this.
I've told you white lies, never like this.
Looked into true eyes, never like this.

Run lyrics - Eric Clapton

Love on my mind, I used to be
Living it up, fancy free,
Then one night it came to an end;
I met that girl and the trouble began.

[Chorus:]
Something inside of me keeps on telling me to run.
Whatcha gonna do to me?
Something inside of me keeps on telling me to run.
Whatcha gonna do to me?

I was hooked with just one look,
Easy prey, child's play.
I knew this girl was no one night stand;
Felt just like putty in her hands.

[Chorus]

Got no answers, got no cure,
But one thing I know for sure:
This is the girl, she's the one.
She makes it so hard for me to run.

[Chorus]

People tell me,
You might as well face it, she's covered all the bases.
You might as well face it, she's covered all the bases.

[Chorus 2x]

Tearing Us Apart lyrics - Eric Clapton

You know the sun is shining; it's raining in my heart.
I don't know what to do since we've been apart.
Why don't you tell me, babe, what is going on?
You know I love you darling, don't want to be alone.

[Chorus:]
They're tearing us apart,
They're breaking up my heart.
I knew it from the start:
Your friends are tearing us apart.

You know I can't go on, feeling this old way.
You know my heart is burning, it's burning everyday.
You know I love you, baby, no one else will do.
Why don't you reconsider, do what I want you to?

[Chorus 2x]

Your friends are tearing us apart,
Tearing us apart.

Bad Influence lyrics - Eric Clapton

You use me to get you anything you wanted.
Oh, but I'm a changed man now, baby,
And your other friend can get you what you want now.
If I go through those same things again,
I'll be worse off than I started.

[Chorus:]
Girl, you're such a bad influence
And you've got ways to make me do what you want.
Girl, you're such a bad influence;
I've got to stay away.

I've been hurt in all of the worst kind of ways,
And it's you pretty baby,
I've just got to stay away from.
I won't go through those same things again;
I'm so glad that we parted.

[Chorus]

Somebody please, you've got to help me break away.
You know I don't like this lonely feeling.
It wasn't meant to be this way.
I won't go through those same things again;
I'm so glad we parted.

[Chorus]

You're such a bad influence;
And I have got to stay away.
You're such a bad influence;
I've got to stay away from you, baby.
I've got to stay away.

Walk Away lyrics - Eric Clapton

You leave a trail of tears wherever you go.
One of us will hold you, the other one won't.
But I could never share your love or leave it behind.
Break his heart, not mine.

Do you remember tender moments we shared?
How could this true affection vanish into thin air?
He's not worth the trouble, baby; he's just a waste of your time.
Oh, break his heart, not mine.

Don't you walk away,
You know you're gonna miss me.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
You're gonna miss me,
You're gonna miss my love.

So don't you walk away,
Don't you walk away, walk away.
Don't you walk away, walk away.

So I'll be waiting in the backroom, baby, when you kiss him goodbye.
Oh, break his heart not mine, but...

[Repeat First Chorus]

Don't you walk away, walk away.
Oh don't you walk away.
I know you're gonna miss my love.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
Don't you walk away.
You're gonna miss my love.
Don't you walk away, walk away.

Hung Up On Your Love lyrics - Eric Clapton

I was ready to take a chance,
I found myself a new romance.
Then you call that same old night,
Always change my mind.

Oh no, not again.
Oh no, not again.

[Chorus:]
Just when I thought it was over, you come back
And I'm hung up on your love again.
Just when I thought I was free, you come back.
Now I'm hung up on your love again.

Just as I was doing good,
You come back, just to prove you could.
Things will always be the same,
With me the victim of the game.

Oh no, not again.
Oh no, not again.

[Chorus 4x]

Take A Chance lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
If I don't take a chance,
If I don't make a move,
If I don't go looking for new romance,
How will I ever find my groove?

If I don't play around,
How am I gonna have my fun?
If I tried to settle down,
Would I be fooling anyone?

I'm out on a limb above a sea of bliss;
I don't know why I feel this way.
I only know I love it.

And I feel so free today.
You know I feel so free today.
That's right, I feel so free, no matter where I go,
But I feel so free today.

If I don't make mistakes,
If I don't play the fool,
If I have to worry 'bout the heart I break,
How am I ever gonna learn the rules?

I'm looking for danger inside the sweetest smile;
I don't know why I feel this way.
I only know I love it.

[Chorus 2x]

Hold On lyrics - Eric Clapton

Deep down in the dead of night I call out your name.
It seems now that nothing is right, there's nothing but pain.
If only I'd told you I love you, now all I can do is...

[Chorus:]
Hold on, hold on to the feeling.
You've got to hold on, hold on to the feeling.
I don't feel right on this sad night.
Lord, I've got thistles growing in my pillow.

If you could believe in me, then I could be strong,
And then we could set our love free and right all these wrongs.
You'll know when I touch you how much you still mean to me, baby.

[Chorus]

Hold on, hold on.

Just give me one more chance.
Please give me one more chance.
Don't tell me our romance is through.

[Chorus]

Hold on, hold on to the feeling.
Hold on, hold on to the feeling.
You've got to hold on, hold on to the feeling.
Hold on, hold on to the feeling.

Miss You lyrics - Eric Clapton

Don't change your mind,
I ain't got the time to sit and wonder.
I'm doing fine.
If you decide to leave, I won't go under.

You know I've come this far without you;
It won't be too hard to be alone.
I've got choices all around me,
So I won't be spending too much time at home.

[Chorus:]
Girl, I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you, baby.
I can't forgive you,
Still I'm gonna miss you, baby.

No, don't say a word.
I already heard that you don't love me.
In your state of mind,
I don't need to hear your side of the story.

Your friends all said we had a future
And I don't think I really want to know.
My friends keep telling me to lose you
And how glad they'll be when you decide to go.

[Chorus]

I broke my back to make you happy.
Sometime, somehow, someone's got to care.
If you think you're better off without me,
Just remember, it's a dirty world out there.

[Chorus]

I'm gonna miss the ground you walk on,
Gonna miss the air you breathe.
I'm just not quite happy, baby,
'bout your crazy plans to leave.

Holy Mother lyrics - Eric Clapton

Holy Mother, where are you?
Tonight I feel broken in two.
I've seen the stars fall from the sky.
Holy mother, can't keep from crying.

Oh I need your help this time,
Get me through this lonely night.
Tell me please which way to turn
To find myself again.

Holy mother, hear my prayer,
Somehow I know you're still there.
Send me please some peace of mind;
Take away this pain.

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait any longer.
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for you.

Holy mother, hear my cry,
I've cursed your name a thousand times.
I've felt the anger running through my soul;
All I need is a hand to hold.

Oh I feel the end has come,
No longer my legs will run.
You know I would rather be
In your arms tonight.

When my hands no longer play,
My voice is still, I fade away.
Holy mother, then I'll be
Lying in, safe within your arms.

Behind The Mask lyrics - Eric Clapton

All along, had to talk about it,
Like a two-edged sword, it cuts you and it stabs me.
All along, knew you were a phony girl,
Sit behind the mask where you control your world.

Yesterday he had you in his arms;
When I'm holding you, I feel his bitter charms.
I can't judge what you do to me.
Camoflage the truth, indulge your fantasy.

[Chorus:]
Who do you love? Is it me now, is it him babe? I don't know.
Who do you love? Is it me babe, is it him now? I don't know.

There is nothing in your eyes; that's the way you cry.
All is grand, all is bright. You're just studying my mind.
There is nothing in your eyes; that's the way you cry.
All is grand, all is bright. You're just studying my mind.

Was I invited to your masquerade?
Well the party's over so now take off your face.
You say you love, but it's hard to see
When you're in his arms, throwing rocks at me.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I walk around suffering in my gloom,
When I come to you sitting in your room.
The truth is news, I have longed to trace.
So take off the mask so I can see your face.

[Chorus 3x]

Who do you love? Is it me baby, is it him? I want to know.
Who do you love?

Grand Illusion lyrics - Eric Clapton

I saw you in a dream, it hit me like a bright light
Flashing on a screen, visions of my whole life.
I used to chase the moment of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire.

It was just a, nothing but a grand illusion.
Heart was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.

I held you in my arms till the other side of midnight.
Kept you in my mind, you got me through some long nights.
Standing on the threshold of desire,
Caught between the madness and the fire.

[Repeat First Chorus]

It was all a grand illusion.
Hand was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legends in our own minds.

I used to chase the moments of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire.

It was just a, nothing but a, it was all a grand illusion.
Nothing but a grand illusion.
It was all a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.

It was just a grand illusion.
Nothing but a grand illusion.
It was just a grand illusion,
Legend in our own mind.

She's Waiting lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
She's waiting for another love.
She's waiting for another love.

She's been waiting for another love,
Someone that she can show into her heart.
And when she finally finds a stronger love,
Your whole world's gonna fall apart.

[Chorus]

You've been abusing her for far too long;
Think you're a king and she's your pawn.
Get ready now, 'cause pretty soon
She'll be gone and you'll be on your own.

[Chorus]

I see the hunger burning in her eye;
Any fool could see there's something wrong.
You keep pretending not to care,
But I will hear you sing a different song.

[Chorus]

Waiting for another lover,
Hoping for the time that she'll find another...

See What Love Can Do lyrics - Eric Clapton

When your world, it starts to fall apart
Look deep within, within your lonely heart.
Do your best my friend, try and understand
It's only you, pull yourself through.

When you tell your story,
Make sure your story's right;
Every little single word is true.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.

When the words are in the music, the music is the song.
The world would be so happy, if we'd all just get along.
I want to see it, a smile on every face.

So when we tell our story,
Make sure that it's right
And every single word is true.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.

So when you tell your story, honey
Make sure that it's right.
I finally proved the message true.
I see what love can do.
See what love can do.

See what love can do.
See what love can do.

When we sing the story
Make sure your song is right.
Finally proved the message true.
See what love can do.
Oh, see what love can do.

See what love can do.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.

Same Old Blues lyrics - Eric Clapton

I'm sorry baby, but I can't afford to stay.
Your good, kind treatment will worry me someday.
I love you baby, but I'm gonna have to say goodbye.
Woman, I got to move, I really got to fly.

[Chorus:]
Same thing every morning,
Tell me what's it all about.
I get those same old blues every night.

I miss you already, baby, more than words can say.
Seems like I've been gone twenty-four hours, more like a million days.
I love you baby, you know I woudn't tell you no lies.
If you don't believe I love you, look at the tears standing in my eyes.

[Chorus]

Here I am back home, baby, I'm back home to stay.
I love you babe, never more will I go away.
I won't hurt you no more, baby, ain't gonna tell you no more lies.
No more running 'round, no more phony alibis.

[Chorus 3x]

Knock On Wood lyrics - Eric Clapton

I don't want to lose this good thing that I've got.
If I do, I would surely, surely lose a lot,
'Cause your love is better than any love I know.

[Chorus:]
It's like thunder, lightning,
The way you love me is frightening.
Think I'd better knock on wood, baby.

I'm not superstitious about you, I can't take no chance.
You got me spinning, baby. Baby, I'm in a trance,
'Cause your love is better than any love I know.

[Chorus]

Ain't no secret, that woman is my loving cup.
She sees to it that I get it up.
Just one touch from her, you know can do so much.

[Chorus]

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood.
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood.

Something's Happening lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
Something's happening, something's going on.
Something's happening, something so strong.
Something's happening, something all over the world.

Spirit's moving and it's moving fast.
You better get aboard and don't be last.
Something's happening, something all over the world.

My life has been a series of endless changes,
A constant struggle to be free.
One thing I know for sure now baby,
It's me for you and you for me.

[Chorus]

[Repeat First Verse]

[Chorus]

Forever Man lyrics - Eric Clapton

How many times must I tell you babe,
How many bridges I've got to cross?
How many times must I explain myself
Before I can talk to the boss,
'Fore I can talk to the boss?

How many times must I say I love you
Before you finally understand?
Won't you be my forever woman?
I'll try to be your forever man,
Try to be your forever man.

[Repeat Second Verse]

Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.

Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.

It All Depends lyrics - Eric Clapton

So you think you are something special;
I wonder why, baby, is that so?
Could admit, you are something special.
Won't you tell me, girl? I'd love to know.

Yes, I've seen you with your other girlfriends.
I can tell they really think you're fine.
And I've seen you with your other men friends.
They don't know if you're a love of mine.

[Chorus:]
It all depends on how you feel, baby.
I've got to know just how you feel, baby.
It all depends on how you feel, baby.
I've got to know just how you feel, baby.

[Chorus]

'Cause you've taken away
The only thing I ever ever had.
Don't you know that I love you?
Why'd you make me feel bad?
'Cause the only thing I ever loved
Was loving you.

[Repeat First Verse]

[Chorus]

What makes you think you are something special?

Tangled In Love lyrics - Eric Clapton

A modern man with an old-fashioned heart.
One look at her and I fell apart.
I was always the one playing it cool.
I got caught in the act, now there's no turning back.

[Chorus:]
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.

A long black dress and the call of the wild.
I was a fool to think she was just a child.
Out of my mind, out of control.
Knew that feeling too well, tried to run but I fell.

[Chorus]

I never meant to feel this way,
Now I always want to stay...

[Chorus]

I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.

Never Make You Cry lyrics - Eric Clapton

It's so easy loving you
With everything I feel inside,
And holding me the way you do,
It's here I'm staying all of my life.

[Chorus:]
I'll never ever make you cry.
I'll never ever say goodbye.
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I'm yours until the day I die.

I'll watch you fall asleep at night,
I'll smile and kiss you, hold you tight,
I'll hold your hand and close my eyes,
It's here I'm staying all of my life.

[Chorus 2x]

Just Like A Prisoner lyrics - Eric Clapton

Just like a prisoner,
He don't know right from wrong.
Just like a baby,
He sings a pleading song

And that's why
So many tears must fall.
Yes, that's why
So many tears must fall.

Just like a sailor,
He steers away from home.
He feels a tidal wave
In his heart, but he ain't alone

[Repeat First Chorus]

I'm like that prisoner,
I don't know right from wrong.
Just like that baby,
I sing a pleading song

And that's why
You'll never know how I feel.
Yes, that's why
You'll never know how I feel.

Behind The Sun lyrics - Eric Clapton

My love has gone behind the sun;
Since she left, the darkness has begun.
The smile that used to shine on me
Is nothing more than a memory.

I see her face, I hear her voice.
She made her move, I had no choice
But walk and cry, wipe tears with my hand,
The one that carries a wedding band.

And the clouds hang low
And the flowers that used to grow
In my heart
Are dying now, dying now.

Dying now.

"Money And Cigarettes" (1983)

Everybody Oughta Make A Change lyrics - Eric Clapton

Change in the weather,
Change in the sea,
Come back baby,
You'll find a change in me.

Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We have to go down in that lonesome ground.

I changed suits,
I changed shirts,
I changed, baby,
Just to get shed of the dirt.

Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We're going down in that lonesome ground.

I changed honey,
I changed money,
I changed, people,
Just to keep from being funny.

Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We're going down in that lonesome ground.

Change in the ocean,
Change in the sea,
Come back baby,
You'll find a change in me.

Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We're going down in that lonesome ground.

The Shape You're In lyrics - Eric Clapton

I took my baby to see a show.
She was telling me she didn't want to go.
I said, "Come on girl, what's the matter with you?"
But I could tell by the smell that she'd had a few.

[Chorus:]
I said hold on girl don't get too tight,
You started early and we've got all night.
You've got to take it easy, take it slow.
We don't want the whole world to know
About the shape you're in.

Well, my little girl really loves that wine.
Wine will do it to her most everytime.
If it's red or it's white or it's in between,
She can drink more wine than I've ever seen.

[Chorus]

Now I'm not trying to get heavy with you.
I'll mind my own business if you want me to.
But I love you girl, I don't love no one else.
I'm just telling you baby 'cause I've been there myself.

[Chorus]

Ain't Going Down lyrics - Eric Clapton

It ain't no big deal, we're all lucky to be alive,
I myself don't believe in luck, or taking chances, I will survive.
Every move I make, every twist and every turn,
You scandalize and humble me, I may be slow but I will learn.

[Chorus:]
'Cause I ain't going down anymore.
No I ain't going down anymore.
No I ain't going down anymore.
No I ain't going down anymore.

If I had my way, I would probably just sit and stare.
Watch the T.V. or read a book, I'd have no reason to be aware,
But I ain't got time, I just could not live that way.
I've got to step outside myself, I've still got something left to say.

[Chorus 2x]

Channelled in my groove, part of another space and time.
Please allow me to introduce another very good friend of mine.
Some call him fear, some call him righteousness.
I myself ain't clear, and you can't force me to make a guess.

I've Got A Rock 'N' Roll Heart lyrics - Eric Clapton

I've got a feeling we could be serious, girl;
Right at this moment, I could promise you the world.
Before we go crazy, before we explode,
There's something 'bout me, baby, you got to know,
You got to know.

[Chorus:]
I get off on '57 Chevys;
I get off on screaming guitar.
Like the way it hits me every time it hits me.
I've got a rock and roll, I've got a rock and roll heart.

Feels like we're falling into the arms of the night,
So if you're not ready, don't be holdin' me so tight.
I guess there's nothing left for me to explain;
Here's what you're gettin' and I don't want to change,
I don't want to change.

[Chorus]

I don't need to glitter, no Hollywood,
All you got to do is lay it down and you lay it down good.

[Chorus]

Man Overboard lyrics - Eric Clapton

You say you do when you don't - you say you will when you won't.
You make me laugh make me cry - you make me live make me die.
You put me in put me out - you make me scream make me shout.
You pick me up put me down - you make me king make me clown.

[Chorus:]
I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.
I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.

You can turn on the light in the middle of the night.
You can put me to rest, what you do is the best.
You can turn me away and get me back the next day.
You can fill up my heart or you can tear it apart.

[Chorus]

You got me so excited you put my heart on overload.
You got my soul ignited - I'm getting ready to explode.
There ain't no early warning for what I'm going through.
I got the fever in the morning because my heart is set on you.

[Chorus]

Pretty Girl lyrics - Eric Clapton

Pretty girl you are the light of my life,
I mean my everything.
You are the one I chose to make my wife,
That's why you wear my ring.

And when I'm feeling down and out,
You're the one who will bail me out.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.

Pretty girl don't ever say goodbye,
Don't ever let me be,
If you do, you know that I would die,
You mean that much to me.

And when I'm feeling low and blue,
You always know just what to do.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.

[Repeat First Chorus]

Pretty girl, hear what I have to say,
It's something you should know,
You brought me sunshine on my darkest day,
That's why I love you so.

And when my wandering day is through,
I'll always hurry back home to you.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.

Man In Love lyrics - Eric Clapton

You're always in my hair, you keep me feeling fine.
I celebrate every time I realize you're really mine

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm a man in love,
Yes I'm a man in love.
I tell it everywhere I go,
I want the whole world to know
That I'm a man in love.

I used to be so sad, like a dog without a bone
And then you gave me something baby I had never known.

[Chorus]

I love to see you walk up and down the street,
You look so pretty baby from your head down to your feet.

[Chorus]

Well, the minutes seem like hours, and the hours seem like days
And the days they seem like years everytime you go away.

[Chorus]

Crosscut Saw lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
I'm a crosscut saw,
Baby, drag me across your log.
I'm a crosscut saw,
Baby, drag me across your log.
I cut your wood so easy for you,
You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!"

Some call me Woodcutting Sam,
Some call me Woodcutting Jim.
The last girl I cut wood for,
She wants me back again.

I'm a crosscut saw,
Baby, drag me across your log.
I cut your wood so easy for you,
You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!"

I got a double-bladed axe
That really cuts good.
Well, I'm a crosscut saw,
Gonna bury me in your wood.

[Chorus]

Slow Down Linda lyrics - Eric Clapton

Well, if you're looking for a winner, then you know you've got to go with me.
I've got more ashes than Wednesday and you know I can brew my tea.
I'm fixing to teach you everything I know,
I'll take you with me baby everywhere I go.
If I can catch you for a minute I know you'll take a chance with me.

[Chorus:]
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you think that you could save a little time with me?
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company?

I've seen you speeding down the highway when you ought to dig the scenery.
And you can wolf down your dinner in the time it takes to drink my tea.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer you always go too fast for me.

[Chorus]

I think that you're getting too old to be running around,
I think that it's time you thought about settling down,
So slow down, slow down Linda,
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company.

You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer, you always go too fast for me.

[Chorus 2x]

Crazy Country Hop lyrics - Eric Clapton

Way down in a country town one day
A little ole' country band began to play.
They had two guitars and a beat-up saxophone;
When the leader said go them cats began to blow.

[Chorus:]
Ooh wee oh oh,
Ooh la la, let's rock and roll.

Now all the poeple gathered 'round
Just to dig that rockin' rollin' sound.
Suddenly the drummer rang a bell
And all them country cats began to yell.

[Chorus]

Ole' MacDonald did a crazy bop
Said it's time to milk my cow, I got to stop,
But just before I cool it and cut out
Here's something all you cats can think about.

[Chorus]

Snaggle-toothed Malinda was a drag,
She latched onto a dude who showed up stag.
He tried to run and then he tripped and fell;
She kissed him and we all could hear him yell.

[Chorus]

Well, a hound dog ran a polecat into town,
Brought him to the dance and laid him down.
Someone hollered skunk and you can bet
All them country cats is runnin' yet.

[Chorus]

"Another Ticket" (1981)

Something Special lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
She's something special, I can't explain it,
But when she's near me, I can't contain it.
And just one look at her face is good enough for me.

No way of knowing which way I'm going,
But I can't stop it, it keeps on growing.
And just one look at her face is good enough for me.

She ain't too pretty, she ain't too tall,
In fact she ain't too much of anything at all.
I don't care what the people say,
They're going to find out some sweet day.

She is precious, she is charming,
She is so innocent it's really disarming.
And just one look at her face is good enough for me.

[Chorus]

She is precious, she is charming,
She is so innocent it's really disarming.
And just one look at her face is good enough for me,
Is good enough for me,
Is good enough for me.

Black Rose - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
The dogs are howling at the midnight moon.
I'm on my way to where the black rose blooms.
The mountain's high, the night is cold.
I feel the sunshine; a black rose grows.

Together again, we're as common as sin, they say,
We just walk around the stones they throw.
Night after night, we steal away to where
Love don't see no colors in the shadows,
Love don't see no colors in the shadows.

Wind in the willows, wild and warm,
Just like the woman lying here in my arms.
The water's deep, cold and still.
I love the feeling that black rose gives.

[Chorus 2x]

Love don't see no colors in the shadows.

Blow Wind Blow lyrics - Eric Clapton

When the sun rose this morning,
I didn't have my baby by my side.
When the sun rose this morning,
I didn't have my baby by my side.
I don't know where she was,
I know she's out with some another guy.

Don't the sun look lonesome
Shading down behind the trees?
Don't the sun look lonesome
Shading down behind the trees?
But don't your house look lonesome
When your baby's packed to leave.

Blow wind, blow wind,
Blow my baby back to me.
Blow wind, blow wind,
Blow my baby back to me.
Well you know if I don't soon find them,
I will be in misery.

Goodbye baby,
That is all I have left to say.
Goodbye baby,
That is all I have left to say.
But you have lost your good thing,
Go ahead and have your own way.

Another Ticket lyrics - Eric Clapton

Why can't it stay like this forever?
Why does it always have to change?

Everytime you think you've paid the price,
Seems you've always got to pay it twice.
Everytime you think you're near the end,
You turn around and find another ticket.

Oh my love, time is running out.
Oh my love, time is running out.

Why must we wait until tomorrow,
When we already know the score?

Everytime you think you've paid the price,
Seems you've always got to pay it twice.
Everytime you think you've got it made,
Seems you're only lying in the shade.

Everytime you think you've run the course,
Seems you've got to ride another horse.
Everytime you think you're near the end,
You turn around and find another ticket.

[Bridge]

I Can't Stand It lyrics - Eric Clapton

You've been told,
So maybe it's time that you learned.
You've been sold,
Maybe it's time that you earned.

[Chorus:]
I can't stand it.
You're fooling around, I can't stand it.
You're running around, I can't stand it.
You're fooling around with my heart.

I'll explain;
I feel like I'm being used.
Make it plain,
So you don't get confused.

[Chorus 2x]

It's time,
Time for me to let you know.
Ain't no crime,
No crime to let your feelings show.

[Chorus]

Hold Me Lord lyrics - Eric Clapton

Sixteen days in Bethlehem, peddling dope and drinking wine.
Pulling women, making gigs, steering clear and doing fine.
I moved on down to Galilee, trying to find a few new friends.
I'm throwing aces everywhere, trying to forget the end.

[Chorus:]
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord,
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through.
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord,
Hold me tight, I beg of you.

I'm cruising through Jerusalem, dust is flying everywhere.
I'm dodging bullets, making time, on the level, in the square.
They say you kissed your best friend's hand, they say you did it for his love.
They say you got in agony, the hand fits well into the glove.

[Chorus 3x]

Floating Bridge lyrics - Eric Clapton

Well I never will forget that floating bridge.
Lord I never will forget that floating bridge.
Lord I never will forget that floating bridge.
They tell me five minutes time underwater I was hid.

I was going down and I throwed up my hands.
As I was going down I throwed up my hands.
As I was going down I throwed up my hands,
Saying, "Please Lord, take me on dry land."

Well they carried me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bed.
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed.
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed.
I couldn't hear nothing but muddy water running 'round my head.

Oh my mother often told me, "Quit playing a bum."
My mother always told me, "Quit playing a bum."
Lord, my mother always told me, "Son, quit playing a bum.
Go out somewhere and make a crumb."

All the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
Well all the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
All the people on the bridge stood screaming and crying,
Saying, "Lord have mercy, wher's we g'wine?"

Catch Me If You Can lyrics - Eric Clapton

Catch me if you can; I won't be easy to find.
I got a woman at home that's driving me out of my mind.
Catch me if you can; it won't be easy to do.
And I'm warning you brother I won't be leaving no clues.

[Chorus:]
Catch me if you can; I won't be leaving no scent.
I've been running the wrong way, I think it's time that I went.
Believe me, I'm a man; I ain't easy to tend.
And I'm moving on out, so catch me if you can.

There's no use bothering with the lost and found.
You'd better find a shovel, 'cause I've gone to ground.
Little girl never did pay me no mind.
I guess I'll have to go and leave her behind. So...

[Repeat First Verse]

Rita Mae lyrics - Eric Clapton

Rita Mae, Rita Mae,
Come and visit me today.
Rita Mae, Rita Mae,
Come and visit me today.
I'll do anything you want,
Give you anything you say.

I saw you out walking
With your other man today.
I saw you out walking
With your other man today.
If I catch you one more time,
I'm gonna blow you both away.

Rita Mae, Rita Mae,
I'll see you one more time today.
Rita Mae, Rita Mae,
I'll see you one more time today.
When I've finished what I've done,
Gonna come and drive you away.

"Backless" (1978)

Walk Out In The Rain lyrics - Eric Clapton

Walk out if it doesn't feel right,
I can tell you're only lying.
If you've got something better tonight
Then don't mess up my mind with your crying.

[Chorus:]
Just walk out in the rain,
Walk out with your dreams,
Walk out of my life if you don't feel right.
And catch the next train;
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain.

I have come from so far away
Just to put a ring on your finger.
If you've said all that you've got to say
Then please don't feel the need to linger.

[Chorus]

It's raining outside of the city;
My poor feet have walked till they're sore.
If you don't want my love, it's a pity.
I guess I can't see you no more.

[Chorus 2x]

Watch Out For Lucy lyrics - Eric Clapton

Now my friend Bill was just a working lad
And he liked to have his fun.
He'd like to find a girl and get comfortable
When his working day was done.

He would spend all his money on a Friday night,
Wake up in the morning broke,
But he had a run in with little Lucy then;
Believe me that ain't no joke.

[Chorus:]
Watch out for Lucy,
Though she may look frail.
Say excuse me, Lucy,
Darling don't you use me;
I don't want to land in jail.

She started out working in a cafe,
Picking money up on the side.
She was free and easy, everybody's friend,
But she couldn't be satisfied.

So now in walks Bill with his cash in his hand,
His heart upon his sleeve.
We tried to warn him about her ways,
We never did succeed.

[Chorus]

Well, the trap was sprung for poor old Bill;
You should have heard little Lucy sing
"I want a Cadillac car, a beautiful home,
And a thousand dollar ring."

They found our hero in the gutter
With a diamond ring and a gun.
He'd done it for the love of Lucy
And ended up on the run.

[Chorus 2x]

I'll Make Love To You Anytime lyrics - Eric Clapton

Well I can't read and I can't write
And I don't know my left from right.

[Chorus:]
I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know if you'll ever be mine,
But I'll make love to you any old time at all.

I can't swim and I can't fly,
I ain't no fish, ain't a bird in the sky.

[Chorus]

I can't count from one to ten,
And I don't know the shape I'm in.

[Chorus]

Roll It lyrics - Eric Clapton

Roll it, rock it, roll it in the socket.
Roll, roll it, roll, roll it.
Feel it, can you feel it, all night, all right.
Oh burn it, rock it, moving in the socket.
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.

Gonna getcha, gonna getcha, here it comes, don't try to run.
I must love you, gonna sock it, gonna roll it, gonna rock.
Roll, roll it, roll, roll it.
Oh lord, rock it, loving in the socket, yeah yeah.

Tell Me That You Love Me lyrics - Eric Clapton

Tell me that you love me as often as you can;
Let me know that I'm your one and only man.
Give me confirmation with every passing day.
A love as sweet as ours will never fade away.

Catch me when I'm falling, help me when I'm blue.
Don't you realize that I'd do the same for you?
Find me when I'm lonely, carry me back home.
Treat me gently and my heart will never roam.

Straighten me out, pull me through,
Let me know that I'm still in love with you.
Be my woman, be my friend,
Stick with me until the very end.

[Chorus]

If I Don't Be There By Morning lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
Blue sky upon the horizon,
Private eye is on my trail,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have spent the night in jail.

I've been running from Memphis to L. A.
Had an appointment set sometime for today,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have gone the other way.

Finding my way back to you girl,
Lonely and blue and mistreated too.
Sometimes I think of you girl,
Is it true that you think of me too?

I got a woman living in L. A.
I got a woman waiting for my pay,
And if I don't be there by morning,
Pack my clothes, get down on your knees and pray.

[Chorus]

I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill.
I left her waiting, I hope she's waiting for me still.
If I don't be there by morning
You know that I, I never will.

Early In The Morning lyrics - Eric Clapton

When a girl reach the age of 18
She begins to think she's grown,
And that's the kind of little girl
You can never find at home.

[Chorus:]
Come and see me early in the morning,
Just about the break of day.
Want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?

One drink of wine,
Two drinks of gin.
Pretty young got me
In the shape I'm in.

[Chorus]

I pass by the juke joint,
Look through the door.
She's doing the boogie-woogie
In the middle of the floor.

[Chorus]

[Repeat First Verse]

Promises lyrics - Eric Clapton

I don't care if you never come home,
I don't mind if you just keep on
Rowing away on a distant sea,
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me.

You cause a commotion when you come to town;
You give 'em a smile and they melt.
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine,
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.

La la, la la la la la.
La la, la la la la la.

I don't care what you do at night,
Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights.
I'm gonna leave you alone, I'll just let it be,
I don't love you and you don't love me.

I got a problem. Can you relate?
I got a woman calling love hate.
We made a vow we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?

[Bridge]

I tried to love you for years upon years,
You refuse to take me for real.
It's time you saw what I want you to see,
And I'd still love you if you'd just love me.

[Chorus]

[Bridge 2x]

Golden Ring lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
He gave to you a golden ring;
It made you happy, it made you sing.
And I played for you on my guitar;
It didn't last long, we didn't go far.

And though the times have changed,
We're rearranged.
Will the ties that bind remain the same?

You came around after a while;
Everyone said that I made you smile.
It all went well, and suddenly then
You heard that he would marry again.

[Chorus]

Well I know that I have been here before;
I've trod on your wings, I've opened the door.
If I gave to you a golden ring
Would I make you happy, would I make you sing?

[Chorus 2x]

Tulsa Time lyrics - Eric Clapton

Well, I left Oklahoma
Driving in a Pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to Arizona,
Maybe on to California
Where people all live so fine.

My mother says I'm crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But I'm gonna show them all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool and
I don't need no more damn schoolin'.
I was born to just walk the line.

[Chorus:]
Living on Tulsa Time.
Living on Tulsa Time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know that I've been through it.
Living on Tulsa Time.

So there I was in Hollywood,
Thinking I was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.
They don't want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs;
My mama says my baby's doing fine.

So then I started winking,
Then I started thinking
That I really had a flash this time.
That I had no bussiness leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see I'm on Tulsa time.

[Chorus 2x]

"Slowhand" (1977)

Cocaine lyrics - Eric Clapton

If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out.
Cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground.
Cocaine.

[Chorus:]
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie;
Cocaine.

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues.
Cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run.
Cocaine.

[Chorus]

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on.
Cocaine.
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back.
Cocaine.

[Chorus 2x]

Wonderful Tonight lyrics - Eric Clapton

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

Lay Down Sally lyrics - Eric Clapton

There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know you've got somewhere to go,
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.

[Chorus:]
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.

The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies,
Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.

[Chorus]

I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
You can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And don't you ever leave.

[Chorus 2x]

Next Time You See Her lyrics - Eric Clapton

She's got everything a man could ever ask for.
She is lovely, brighter than a morning star.
She is so beautiful, portrait of a sunset.
She got everything, including my old car.

[Chorus:]
Next time you see her, tell her that I love her.
Next time you see her, tell her that I care.
Next time you see her, tell her that I love her.
Next time I see you, boy you'd better beware.

I'm just trying to warn you that you're bound to get hurt.
I couldn't be her last love, so how could you be her first?
I want to tell you, buddy, things are bound to get rough.
I know that she's only flirting, but I think that I've had enough.

[Chorus]

And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.

[Chorus]

And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.

[Chorus]

We're All The Way lyrics - Eric Clapton

There's no cause to think that I won't stay;
Haven't I been with you all the way?
There's no time like now to make amends.
After all, we are more than friends.

[Chorus:]
This could be the time for you and me.
We could go wherever we should be.
So don't put words between us we shouldn't say,
And don't be acting halfway
When you know we're all the way.

There are times when I don't see the light.
I don't know if what I do is right.
But when I'm wrong, it's never meant for you,
So don't confuse my words with what I do.

[Chorus]

The Core lyrics - Eric Clapton

Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.
There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.
There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.

Oh, I have a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can burn without fuel.

If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite.
Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my side.
No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea.
'Cause every day, your fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me.

Oh, I have a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can burn without fuel.

It is burning.
It is burning.

You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow.
I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow.
Gypsy woman said to me, "One thing you must bear in your mind:
You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime."

Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart.
And down at the core is the hottest part.
We can burn without fuel.

It is burning.
It is burning.

May You Never lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold.
May you never make your bed out in the cold.
May you never lose your temper if you get hit in a barroom fight.
May you never lose your woman overnight.

Well, you're just like a great, strong sister to me,
And I know that your love is true,
And you hold no blade for to stab me in my back;
I know that there's some that do.

So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind:
Love is a lesson to learn in our time.
Please, won't you please, bear it in mind for me.

[Chorus]

Well, you're just like a great, strong brother to me,
And I know that your love is true,
And you never talk dirty behind my back;
I know that there's some that do.

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

May you never lose your woman overnight.
May you never lose your woman overnight.

Mean Old Frisco lyrics - Eric Clapton

Well that mean old dirty Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe.
Mean old Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe.
You know they take my girl away,
Lord, and blow back out on me.

Well my mama, she done told me,
And my papa told me too.
Mama told me
And my papa told me too.
A woman that gets in your face,
Lord she ain't no friend for you.

Well I'm goin' away now baby
And I won't be back until fall.
Goin' away, baby.
Lord, I won't be back till fall.
If I don't come back by then,
Lord, I won't be back at all.

[Alternate Verse]
Well I'm goin' away baby
And your cryin' won't make me stay.
Goin' away baby
And your cryin' won't make me stay.
Well the more you cry, little girl,
If anything you'll drive me away.

Well that mean old dirty Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe.
Mean old Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe.
Gonna take my gal away,
Lord, and blow back out on me.

"No Reason To Cry" (1976)

Beautiful Thing lyric - Eric Clapton

I've told you once, now you should know
The reason that I'm coming down.
There ain't no time to repeat again;
Just need to bring it around.

We had a beautiful thing going,
You couldn't see things my way.
We had a beautiful thing going,
Something just got in our way.

And I told you once that it was rough.
I looked on you as my friend,
Because that did not seem to be good enough,
And now it's time to begin.

We've got a beautiful thing going,
I hope that's the way it will stay.
We've got a beautiful thing going,
Nothing can stand in our way.

[Repeat Second Chorus]

Carnival lyric - Eric Clapton

Come with me, come with me,
To the carnival, to the carnival.

You will see, you will see,
What you want to see, exactly what you want to be,
At the carnival, at the carnival, at the carnival.

Come with me, come with me,
To the carnival, to the carnival,
To the carnival, to the carnival, to the carnival.

Come with me, come with me.
Come with me, come with me.

Sign Language lyrics - Eric Clapton

You speak to me in sign language,
As I'm eating a sandwich in a small cafe
At a quarter to three.

But I can't respond to your sign language.
You're taking advantage, bringing me down.
Can't you make any sound?

'Twas there by the bakery, surrounded by fakery.
This is my story, still I'm still there.
Does she know I still care?

Link Wray was playing on a jukebox, I was paying
For the words I was saying, so misunderstood.
He didn't do me no good.

[Repeat First Verse]

County Jail Blues lyric - Eric Clapton

They picked me up,
Put me in the county jail.
They picked me up,
Put me in the county jail.
They wouldn't let my woman
Come and post my bail.

Now I'm in prison,
I've almost done my time.
Now I'm in prison,
I've almost done my time.
They gave me six months,
I had to work out nine.

I know my baby,
She's gonna jump and shout.
I know my baby,
She's gonna jump and shout.
When the train comes in
And I come walking out.

Take these stripes from around me,
Chains from around my legs.
Take these stripes from around me,
Chains from around my legs.
The stripes don't hurt me;
The chains could kill me dead.

All Our Past Times lyrics - Eric Clapton

I don't want to be the one to say I'm sorry.
I don't want to be the one to take the blame.
I don't want to be the one to throw it over.
I don't want to be the one to feel ashamed.

I don't want to be the one who thinks of nothing.
I don't want to be the one to tell you what you have seen.
After all this time, well I thought that you were mine.
I just want to be the one who would share this dream.

[Chorus:]
All our past times should be forgotten.
All our past times should be erased.
I don't care how much it costs;
'Cause I don't count the loss
As long as I can see your face again.

You don't have to tell me when you're leaving,
If it's half past one, if it's maybe four.
It makes no difference where you think you're going,
But please remember not to slam the door.

[Chorus]

Yes, I don't care how much it costs;
You know I don't count the loss
As long as I can see your face again.

Hello Old Friend lyrics - Eric Clapton

As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.

[Chorus:]
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.

I saw you walking underneath the stars;
I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car.
I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are.

[Chorus]

An old man passed me on the street today;
I thought I knew him but I couldn't say.
I stopped to think if I could place his frame.
When he tipped his hat I knew his name.

[Chorus 2x]

Double Trouble lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
Lay awake at night,
Oh so low, just so troubled.
Can't get a job,
Laid off and I'm having double trouble.

Hey hey, to make you've got to try.
Baby, that's no lie.
Some of this generation is millionaires;
I can't even keep decent clothes to wear.

Laugh at me walking,
And I have no place to go.
Bad luck and trouble has taken me;
I have no money to show.


[Chorus]

Innocent Times lyrics - Eric Clapton

I was a child born so free;
It seems that time has put age on me.
And when I grow old, will I once again find
All of those sweet, innocent times?

I was a child born without fear;
It seems that time has placed me here.
With no freedom to laugh, there's more reason to cry.
I really miss those innocent times.

I used to feel joy in my soul,
But now my sorrow has taken control.
As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;
Just one more taste of those innocent times.

As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;
Just one more taste of those innocent times,
Just one more taste of those innocent times.

Hungry lyric - Eric Clapton

Last night as I stepped into the stage lights,
I heard the people cry when they saw my face.
There's nothing like our hearts beating in time.
The crowd may inspire, but you give me my strength.

[Chorus:]
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry
For your sweet smile.
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely,
I need to hold you for a while.

I've been slipping into desperation;
You're the only salvation that the Lord designed.
Your absence is controlling my defenses.
My life is senseless without you by my side.

[Chorus 2x]

Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy.
Every "no" becomes a "maybe", it never takes too long.
Missing you, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
You don't know what I'm going through; everything seems wrong.

[Chorus]Last night as I stepped into the stage lights,

Black Summer Rain lyrics - Eric Clapton

Where is the sun,
The sun that used to shine on me?
Where has it gone
Or is it just a memory?

I looked through the window,
Staring at the sky,
Waiting for a moment
That always passed me by.

[Chorus:]
Black summer rain,
Black summer rain,
Black summer rain is falling on me, girl.

Where is the love,
The love I need to set me free?
And how can I escape
This gloom that is swallowing me?

[Chorus 2x]

Last Night - Eric Clapton

Last night, I lost the best friend I ever had.
Last night, I lost the best friend I ever had.
She's gone away and left me; that makes me feel so bad.

It's early in the morning and my love is coming down to you.
It's early in the morning and my love is coming down to you.
I'll love you, love you, baby, till I don't know what to do.

Last night, I lost the best friend I ever had.
Last night, I lost the best friend I ever had.
Now you've gone away and left me; that makes me feel so bad.

Little Rachel lyrics - Eric Clapton

You don't need no high I.Q.
To get right down and sing the blues.
If you're down, here's what to do;
Me and my guitar will sing for you.

[Chorus:]
Oh, little Rachel, oh.
Oh, little Rachel, oh.
Oh, little Rachel, oh.
Oh, little Rachel, oh.

I got a box and an old whisk broom.
We gonna rock around the room.
When my guitar plays this tune,
We gonna dance to the light of the moon.

What you feel, that ain't no jive.
The get down sound makes you feel alive.

Push it, little Rachel, push it.
Push it, little Rachel, push it.

Pull it, little Rachel, pull it.

Don't Blame Me lyrics - Eric Clapton

Hear my story and listen well;
Truth is in all that I tell.
It could never have been me.
I did not shoot no deputy.

Mr. Grant, the deputy,
Friend to my whole family.
He always tell me when John Brown
Was getting ready to come around.

[Chorus:]
Don't blame me.
Don't blame me.

I hide it all except a few seeds
And make him think I plant for me.
When Mr. Grant and I know all the while
We've got enough for the whole island.

Three years now we sell it in town
Under the bucket that goes down.
No one knew of it but three:
Mr. Grant, Davis and me.

[Chorus]

I swear by God it is a plot;
Davis sent me here to rot.
Listen people, can't you see
Mr. Davis shot the deputy.

[Chorus 2x]

The Sky Is Crying lyrics - Eric Clapton

The sky is crying,
Look at the tears rolling down the streets.
The sky is crying,
Look at the tears rolling down the streets.
I looked out my window,
The rain was falling down in sheets.

My baby left me this morning,
Lord knows I don't know the reason why.
My baby left me this morning,
I don't know the reason why.
And everytime I think about it,
I hang my head and cry.

The sun is shining,
Although it's raining in my heart.
The sun is shining,
Although it's raining in my heart.
I love my baby,
I hate to see us part.

Singin' The Blues lyric - Eric Clapton

I've been working so hard,
Just came home from my job.
Looked down in my wallet,
Good God, I've been robbed.

Now where can my money be,
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I going to do now?
I got my bills to pay.

[Chorus:]
You got me singin' the blues,
And I'm paying all my dues.
You got me singin' the blues,
Ain't got nothing to lose.

I got to tell you I got the blues down in my pockets.
People, what did I say?
Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow,
Why I need my ten dollars today.

[Chorus]

Ain't no way to get even
Because, you know what I mean,
Every time I make me some money
Somebody's going to take it from me.

[Chorus 2x]

Better Make It Through Today lyrics - Eric Clapton

Life is what you make it,
That's what the people say.
And if I can't make it through tomorrow,
I'd better make it through today.

I have had my share of troubles;
It's nothing new to me.
When I look around me,
All I see is misery.

Life is what you make it,
At least that's what the people say.
And if we can't make it through tomorrow
We'd better make it through today, through today.
Through today.

Pretty Blue Eyes lyrics - Eric Clapton

Left alone to cry
While he goes out singing,
And she don't see why
A wedding bell ain't ringing.

Left alone to cry
While he goes out rocking,
And she can't see why
It ain't her he's socking.

[Chorus:]
Goodbye, pretty blue eyes.
Goodbye, pretty blue eyes.

Left alone to cry;
Life don't seem worth living.
I stand to say goodbye,
Done enough forgiving.

[Chorus]

High lyrics - Eric Clapton

High upon a mountain top
Where the eagle builds his nest
I shall go wandering,
Trying to put my mind at rest,
And I shall never cease
Until the day I die.

He was once a friend of mine,
But I did not know or care
Until she said goodbye.
I cried till I could hardly see
The meaning of my life.
What do I do now?

High upon a mountain top
Where the eagle builds his nest
I shall go wandering,
Trying to put my mind at rest,
And I shall never cease
Until the day I die.

Opposites lyrics - Eric Clapton

Motherless Children lyrics - Eric Clapton

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
They don't have anywhere to go;
Wandering around from door to door.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.

Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can;
So many things a father can't understand.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.

Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can;
So many things a sister can't understand.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead.

When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead.
When your mother is dead, Lord, when your mother is dead.

Better Make It Through Today lyrics - Eric Clapton

We'd better make it through today, through today.

Willie And The Hand Jive lyrics - Eric Clapton

I know a cat named Way-Out Willie,
Got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie.
He can walk and stroll and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too.

Mama, mama, look at Uncle Joe
Doing the hand jive with sister Flo.
Grandma gave baby sister a dime;
Said, "Do that hand jive one more time."

[Chorus:]
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
Do that crazy hand jive.

Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief,
They all dig that crazy beat.
Way-Out Willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet.

[Chorus]

Willie and Millie got married last fall.
They had a little Willie junior and that ain't all.
Well, the kids got crazy and it's plain to see,
Doing the hand jive on T.V.

Get Ready lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.

Well, you've been fooling 'round and I don't know why.
Left me on my own, sitting high and dry.
But I'm going to get you back, just you wait and see;
You can't do those things that you're doing to me.

[Chorus]

I've never needed a running 'round pissing hound,
Checking out the bitches in heat.
You've got a lot of nerve, dishing out what you serve,
Waggling your piece of meat.

[Chorus]

I want to get revenge on your sinful sins.
I got to get you back for what you did back then.
And now you've got it back, life is misery.
Well, ha ha ha to you, ha ha to me.

Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.

Get ready, get ready, get ready.
He's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart.

Get ready, get ready, get ready.
'Cause he's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.

I Shot The Sheriff lyrics - Eric Clapton

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.

Sheriff John Brown always hated me;
For what I don't know.
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows."
He said, "Kill it before it grows."
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town.
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down.
So I shot, I shot him down.
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.

I Can't Hold Out lyrics - Eric Clapton

I just talked to my baby on the telephone,
She said, "Stop what you're doing and baby come on home."

[Chorus:]
I can't hold out,
I can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.

You said, "Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire.
You know that I love you, I can't stand to see you cry."

[Chorus]

She said, "Baby you can run, you can walk or fly.
You know that I love you, you're my heart's desire."

[Chorus]

I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.
I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.

Please Be With Me lyrics - Eric Clapton

Oh my word, what does it mean?
Is it love or is it me
That makes me change so suddenly?
Looking out, feeling free.

Sit here lying in my bed,
Wondering what it was I'd said
That made me think I'd lost my head,
When I knew I lost my heart instead.

[Chorus:]
Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me.

Of all the better things I've heard,
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seem so absurd,
'Cause in the end it all comes out unsure.

[Chorus]

Let It Grow lyrics - Eric Clapton

Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer,
And all the time I know,
Plant your love and let it grow.

[Chorus:]
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow.

Looking for a reason to check out of my mind,
Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on,
But there's nothing left to show,
Plant your love and let it grow.

[Chorus]

Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do.
Only ask and you will get what you are needing,
The rest is up to you.
Plant your love and let it grow.

[Chorus 2x]

Steady Rollin' Man lyrics - Eric Clapton

I am a steady rollin' man
And I roll both night and day.
I am a steady rollin' man
And I roll both night and day.
But I ain't got no sweet woman,
Woo-hoo Lord, to be rollin' this way.

I am the man that rolls
When icicles are hanging on the tree.
I am the man that rolls
When icicles are hanging on the tree.
Why can't you hear me begging mama,
Woo-hoo Lord, down on my bended knee?

[Repeat First Verse]

Mainline Florida lyrics - Eric Clapton

My heart was leaping in the sun;
My friends all say that you're the one.
Let me get this one thing very clear:
There ain't enough going on down here.

[Chorus:]
Mainline Florida, oh say.
Mainline Florida, O.K.

Her arms were open, open wide;
Her invitation's a changing tide.
I could remember not long ago
We took a cruise down on Hotel Row.

[Chorus]

[Repeat Second Verse]

Give Me Strength lyrics - Eric Clapton

Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
My home may be out on the highway,
Lord, I've done so much wrong
But please, give me strength to carry on.

Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
My home may be out on the highway,
Lord, I've done so much wrong
But please, give me strength to carry on.

"Eric Clapton" (1970)

Bad Boy lyrics - Eric Clapton

[Chorus:]
I'm just a bad boy,
Long long ways from home.
I'm just a bad boy,
Long long ways from home.
But I ain't got nobody
To bury me when I'm dead and gone.

Well I'm the cat that scratches
And I'm like a dog that bites.
I'll be your box of matches, baby,
When you need a light.

[Chorus]

I used to have a little girl,
Only 16 years old,
But her mom and dad put me way out,
Way out in the cold.

I can't stay here no longer,
My luck is running slow.
Gotta keep on moving
But I ain't got no place to go.

[Chorus]

Lonesome And A Long Way From Home lyrics - Eric Clapton

Out on an open highway,
Such a lovely day but something's wrong.
Something, something's gotta be wrong.

I just left home this morning,
This old road keeps rolling on and on.
Rolling, rolling on and on.

Won't somebody help me?
Won't somebody help me?
Won't somebody help me?

I've never been so lonesome and long way from home,
Never been lonesome and long way,
Never been lonesome and long way from home.

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

After Midnight lyrics - Eric Clapton

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
We're gonna stimulate some action;
We're gonna get some satisfaction.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream.
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion;
We're gonna give an exhibition.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

[Repeat Second Verse]

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

Easy Now lyrics - Eric Clapton

Holding you, you holding me,
Everyone could see we were in ecstasy.
Making love against the wall,
Feeling very small when we didn't need to be.

[Chorus:]
Easy now; don't let my love flow out of you.
Please remember that I want you to come too.

Oh my darling, help me please.
When I'm without you I fall down and graze my knees.
I look so funny and I feel sad,
Your love is all I've ever had, so please don't tease.

[Chorus]

Yesterday, you know tomorrow,
Could it be I'll have to borrow someone new?
I know that I'm the one to blame,
But all the same, there must be something you can do.

[Chorus 3x]

Blues Power lyrics - Eric Clapton

Bet you didn't think I knew how to rock 'n' roll.
Oh, I got the boogie-woogie right down in my very soul.
There ain't no need for me to be a wallflower,
'Cause now I'm living on blues power.

I knew all the time but now I'm gonna let you know:
I'm gonna keep on rocking, no matter if it's fast or slow.
Ain't gonna stop until the twenty-fifth hour,
'Cause now I'm living on blues power.

[Repeat First Verse]

Talking to you, now.
The boogie's gonna pull me through.
Keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on.
Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on.
