I Looked Away
By eric clapton and bobby whitlock
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;
Im such a lonely man.
It came as no surprise to me
That shed leave me in misery.
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow that shed never walk away.
First verse
And if it seemed a sin
To love another mans woman, baby,
I guess Ill keep on sinning
Loving her, lord, till my very last day.
But I looked away
And she ran away from me today;
Im such a lonely man.

Needs His Woman
By eric clapton
You left him standing in the pouring rain.
Theres every chance hell go insane.
And someone comes along and takes his hand.
He must have love, cant you understand that
He needs his woman,
He needs his woman,
And he needs his woman,
He needs his woman to love.
His hands are shaking and his head hangs down.
No peace of mind for him is found.
Break his heart and then youll set him free.
Someone must save him, just you wait and see, but
Chorus
What will it take till you believe his love is real?
Nobody said he had to love you, now he always will.
Hell walk that lonely road again today.
The love he gave you, you threw away.
When all he wanted was a hand to hold.
His lonely world has grown so cold and

I Looked At You
i looked at you,
and saw the fugitive
in my mirror.
i looked at me,
and saw the child in you.
i looked at God,
and saw the stranger waiting.
i looked at the stranger,
and saw my brother in need.
i looked at freedom,
and saw the bars of the cell.
i looked at the bars,
and saw my spirit walk free.
i looked at anger,
and saw forgiveness waiting.
i looked at forgiveness,
and saw the hands of love.
i looked at my body,
and saw the bird leaving the nest.
i looked at the nest,
and saw a world made of straw.
i looked at today,
and saw the scars of yesterday.
i looked at yesterday,
and saw the dawning of tomorrow.
i looked at the seed,
and saw the plant in fullness.
i looked at fullness,
and saw emptiness the seed.
i looked at you...

Baby Gets Around
I cant say I aint been around
That I aint done my time
Seems like this big old world
Has been one big shoe to shine
But I never ever took a dime
For what comes naturally
And if I never knew the truth
Well shed be fine with me
One night she stayed over here
And left her little black book behind
Well that little black book aint little no more
And it wasnt too hard too find
Chorus:
Shed leave me in this lonely room
The thought just made me sick
Its funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit
Yeah, my baby gets around a bit
Her pager would ring, its a funny thing
Shed have to go right away
She always had a wad of cash
Much more than her job could pay
Id ask her where shes going to
And this is what shed say
I gotta meet someone for an interview
Hes only in town today
Always a little bit overdressed
Much more than I thought hed be
High heel shoes and day glow dress
Aint seem strange to me
Shed leave me in this lonely room
While some stud got his sex
Just then the thought occurred to me
My baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around a bit
Oooh, my baby gets around a bit...
Solo
Took her to the local bar
Where I like to hang
Every guy that passed her by
They all seemed to know her name
They all called her by a different name
And one of them winked at me
Some guy named stan said youre the man
I heard you get it for free
Shed leave me in this lonely room
And the thought hit me like a brick
Its funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit
Ooooh, my baby gets around a bit
Ooooh, my baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around....
My baby..

Baby Baby, All The Time
(bobby troup)
Once I had a gal,
As sweet as she could be.
Once I had a gal,
And she was right for me.
Kinda sandy hair,
Eyes so soft and blue
That you couldnt help but care
When she looked at you.
She called me baby...
Baby, all the time.
She said, baby, cant you see?
Baby, understand
Baby, youre for me,
Wont you take my hand?
But I pushed her away,
Wouldnt let her near
Pushed her far away
Now Im wishing I could hear her
Call me baby...
Baby, all the time.
~interlude~
Its so lonely through the day,
Lonely through the night,
Lonely, lonely hours
Without that gal I held so tight.
Lord, I pray that you
Will listen to my plea.
Keep her close to you
So shell come back to me,
And call me baby...
Baby, all the time.
Baby...
Baby, all the time.

So Lonely
Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just dont care
You look as if youre going somewhere
But I just cant convince myself
I couldnt live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely
Know no ones knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and no where to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat theyre always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
I feel so lonely...

Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad
By eric clapton and bobby whitlock
Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday.
How can I ever hope to forget you?
Wont you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face?
I know youre going to 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 a flame,
Like a song without a name,
Ive never been the same since I met you.
Like a bird on the wing,
Ive got a brand new song to sing,
I cant keep from singing about you.
Chorus
Im beginning to see
What a fool youve made of me.
I might have to break the law when I find you.
Stop running away;
Ive got a better game to play,
You know I cant go on living without you.

Keep On Growing
By eric clapton and bobby whitlock
I was laughing,
Playing in the streets, I was unknowing;
I didnt know my fate.
Playing
The game of love, but never really showing;
I thought that love could wait.
I was a young man and sure to go astray.
You walked right into my life and told me love would find a way
To keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.
I was standing,
Looking in the face of one who loved me,
Feeling so ashamed.
Hoping,
And praying, lord, that she could understand me,
But I didnt know her name.
She took my hand in hers and told me I was wrong.
She said, youre gonna be all right boy, oh just as long
As you keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing. yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe,
Someday baby, who knows where or when, lord,
Just you wait and see.
Well be walking,
Together hand in hand, alone forever;
Woman just you and me.
cause time is gonna change us, lord, and I know its true;
Our love is gonna keep on glowing and growing and its all we gotta do.
Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing. yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.

Thorn Tree In The Garden
By bobby whitlock
Theres a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean,
And I hate to hurt your feelings but its not the way it seems,
cause I miss her.
Shes the only girl Ive cared for, the only one Ive known.
And no one ever shared more love than weve known.
And I miss her.
But it all seems so strange to see,
That shed 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
Wholl be the one to answer why?
Lord, I hope its not me, its not me.
And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand.
And if shes in somebodys arms, I know Ill understand
But I miss that girl. I still miss that girl.
Maybe someday soon, somewhere.

Its Gonna Be Lonely
Weve been together for quite some time
Id think by now youd know
It would take forever to get you off my mind
If ever you decide to go
I guess I got a little insecurity when its concerning you
I guess Im just afraid that if you ever leave
Id be in a messed-up state of blue
And Id be so lonely
Without you loving me
I know its gonna be lonely
Without you giving me everylittlesinglething that I need, lonely
Whatevers in your kiss, it really turns me on
til I go right out of my mind
And who could ever resist your accent from gay paree
It gets me every time
I betcha thatcha never knew that in my dreams you are the star
The only bummer is that you always want to leave
Who do you think you are
Dont you know its gonna be lonely
Without you loving me
I know its gonna be lonely
Without you giving me everylittlesinglething that I need, lonely
Its gonna be lonely
Without you loving me
Giving me everything that I need
Oh pretty baby, cant you see
Its gonna be lonely
Without you loving me
I know, I know its gonna be lonely
Oh, whatevers in your kiss
I never could resist
Oh, baby dont go!
Weve been together for quite some time
Itd take forever to get you off my mind
Oh, girl!
Without you loving me
I know its gonna be lonely
Without you by my side
Dont you know that I could die, baby
Without you loving me
Cant you see
Its gonna be lonely
Its gonna be lonely, baby
So lonely, baby

Go down easy and let me take my time.
Rock me slow till I lose my mind.
Roll it over, lets take it from behind.

You dont know how much it means to be here in your arms.

Anyday
By eric clapton and bobby whitlock
You were talking and I thought I heard you say
Please leave me alone.
Nothing in this world can make me stay.
Id rather go back, Id 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 youre gonna need me
When this old world has got you down.
Ill be right here, so woman call me
And Ill 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;
Youve got to be a fool to understand.
To bring your woman back home after shes left you for another,
Youve got to be a, youve got to be a man.

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.

Eyes for me
Lonely, till i hear the word, 'lovely! '
lonely, until my mistakes are accepted gladly.
lonely, until i'm missed terribly.
Lovely it is, and without it i'm lonely.
Gladly i'd accept if asked, for i feel lonely.
Terribly i convey my heart and it remains lonely.
Looked for it everywhere,
looked for him without a corner to spare.
Looked but dint see, eyes for only me so rare.
Everywhere i turned, saw others being looked for.
Spared not a tear, for him to be as before.
Rarely it is true, whats said in a folklore.

It'll Be Allright
i met God today....
the little boy with tears
in his eyes, lost
in the grocery store....
i took his hand and
walked him to the front...
he looked up, and said:
'it'll be allright! '
i met God today...
the old man across the
street trying to load
his old truck....
i stopped mowing and
went over to help him...
boxes and bags, everything
he owned...
'got anywhere to go? '
'it'll be allright! '
i met God today....
young crack whore
stopped by work....
'got anything i can do
to make a few bucks...
i mean, anything....'
i reached into my pocket
and pulled out a ten....
'you get to where you
want some help...
need someone to talk to...'
'it'll be allright! '
i met God today...
standing by an open grave....
He looked at me as if to
ask if i was ready.....
i looked over at the headstone...
and read... 'it'll be allright! '

Tell Me That You Love Me
By eric clapton
Tell me that you love me as often as you can;
Let me know that Im 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 Im falling, help me when Im blue.
Dont you realize that Id do the same for you?
Find me when Im lonely, carry me back home.
Treat me gently and my heart will never roam.
Straighten me out, pull me through,
Let me know that Im still in love with you.
Be my woman, be my friend,
Stick with me until the very end.

Daffodil Lament
Holding on thats what I do
Since I met you
And it wont be long, would you notice
If I left you
And its fine for some
Cause youre not the one,
All night long, I laid on my pillow
These things are wrong
I cant sleep here
So lonely, so lonely
I have decided to leave you forever
I have decided to start things from here
Thunder and lightning wont change
What Im feeling
And the daffodils look lovely today
Ol in your eyes I can see the disguise
Ol in your eyes I can see the dismay
Has anyone seen lightning
Has anyone looked lovely
And the daffodils looked lovely today
Looked lovely

Heartbreak Hotel
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
And although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
do cry away their gloom.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
and you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
