This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Outta my way I'm a running high
Take a chance with me and give it a try
Ain't no woman in the world I know
'Cause I ain't lookin' for an overflow
Oh baby I ain't got much
Resistance to your touch
Take off your high heels and let down your hair
Paradise ain't far from there
I'm wanna walk all over you (walk all over you)
I'm wanna walk all over you (walk all over you)
Do anything you want me to (walk all over you) baby
I'm wanna walk all over you
Reflections on the bedroom wall
I'm glad you got to see it all
We're rising, falling, like at sea
Your lookin' so good under me
I'm gonna walk all over you (walk all over you)
I'm gonna walk all over you (walk all over you)
Do anything you want me to (walk all over you) to you
I'm gonna walk all over
You
Moanin' groanin' stereo
Said gimme the stage I'm gonna steal the show
Leave on the lace and turn off the light
Tonight is gonna be the night
I'm gonna walk all over you (walk all over you)
I'm gonna walk all over you (walk all over you)
Do anything you want me to (walk all over you)
I'm gonna walk all over
You
I'm gonna walk all over you
Take a chance with me and give it a try
Ain't no woman in the world I know
'Cause I ain't lookin' for an overflow
Oh baby I ain't got much
Resistance to your touch
Take off your high heels and let down your hair
Paradise ain't far from there
I'm wanna walk all over you (walk all over you)
I'm wanna walk all over you (walk all over you)
Do anything you want me to (walk all over you) baby
I'm wanna walk all over you
Reflections on the bedroom wall
I'm glad you got to see it all
We're rising, falling, like at sea
Your lookin' so good under me
I'm gonna walk all over you (walk all over you)
I'm gonna walk all over you (walk all over you)
Do anything you want me to (walk all over you) to you
I'm gonna walk all over
You
Moanin' groanin' stereo
Said gimme the stage I'm gonna steal the show
Leave on the lace and turn off the light
Tonight is gonna be the night
I'm gonna walk all over you (walk all over you)
I'm gonna walk all over you (walk all over you)
Do anything you want me to (walk all over you)
I'm gonna walk all over
You
I'm gonna walk all over you

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this is one song that i thinks presents power. if you feel down on yourself listen to this.
this song is pure sex! Pure classic Bon Scott!!! I heard this song in 1989 when I was 14 and fell in love with AC/DC and this song was my favorite for many years.
this song might be about sex, like several other acdc songs. but what i'v notivced is that this is the only song where the drummer is alowed to heard (in evry other songs the riffs r so loudthat we can hardly notice a drummer in the back ground). and the drummer rightly used the opertunity by showing his class. 4 those of u havent heard this song just listen to the begining of the song n u ll understand what i mean. n its a gr8 song, i am dissapointed to c few comments on this
@aeroshakeel I like the half-time feel of the chorus, too. You don't hear tempo changes in a lot of AC/DC songs.
Another awesome down and dirty AC/DC track.
The double entendre may be missed by a lot of Americans, as 'wank' is a UK and Aussie word ;)
Great AC/DC song. My personal favourite from H2H. Song meaning is nothing other than the prelude to and action during sexual intercourse... in typical Bon Scott style of course! :)
