Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad

Lyrics: Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock
Music: Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock

Played by Warren Haynes with Phil Lesh & Friends in 2012 and by Anders Osborne in November 2013 as part of their (and American Jubilee's) cover of the album "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs".

Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday
How can I ever hope to forget you

Won't you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face
I know you're 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
I've never been the same since I met you

Like a bird on the wing
I've got a brand new song to sing
I can't keep from singing about you

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

I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me
I might have to break the law when I find you

Stop running away
I've got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you

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