Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad? Lyrics
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.

Probably because people don't feel the need to say "Why doesn't this song have any comments?" for every good song that doesn't have any.
why doesn't this song have any comments?
I don't know
This song's meaning's quite simple...its about someone male or female...female in this case, that you meet, who you wanna be with, but they give you the run around or similar and then can't get out of your head...simple
yes and no. It's about having a chance with someone but not taking it, and then later when they are with someone else wanting that chance back.. IE the EC/Patti Boyd/George Harrison dynamic that was taking place at the time..

Written by J.J. Cale, this song may be following the tradition of classic blues. The subject may very well be masturbation, sex or any other raw theme often found in early traditional blues.
Sorry, I was commenting about After Midnight. Please move my comment.
lol After Midnight was a song about drinking, since EC played it for a beer company.. that owns the rights to the song.

One of the most powerful songs every performed by anybody. Duane and Eric make this together. If one of them were absent, it wouldn't be anywhere near as good.
A true guitar masterpiece; such emotions flowing through the strings shall never again be replicated.
The 'Layla' album almost makes me forgive Eric for being a racist.
