[Verse 1]
You were talking and I thought I heard you say
"Please leave me alone
Nothing in this world can make me stay
I'd rather go back, I'd rather go back home"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well someday baby, I know you're gonna need me
When this old world has got you down
I'll be right here, so woman call me
And I'll never ever let you down

[Chorus]
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, just for a little while
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while

[Verse 3]
To break the glass and twist the knife into yourself;
You've got to be a fool to understand
To bring your woman back home after she's left you for another
You've got to be a, you've got to be a man

[Chorus]
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, just for a little while
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while

Derek and the Dominos

Derek and the Dominos were a blues rock jam band formed in the spring of 1970 by guitarist and singer Eric Clapton, keyboardist and singer Bobby Whitlock, bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon. They had previously played together in Delaney & Bonnie and Friends. Dave Mason supplied additional lead guitar on early studio sessions and played at their first live gig.

The band released only one studio album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. The album went on to receive critical acclaim, but initially faltered in sales and in radio airplay. Although released in 1970 it was not until March 1972 that the album’s single “Layla” (a tale of unrequited love inspired by Clapton’s relationship with his friend George Harrison’s wife, Pattie Boyd) made the top ten in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The album, which has received praise from critics and fans alike, is often considered to be the defining achievement of Clapton’s career.
