Led Zeppelin – Whole Lotta Love

"Whole Lotta Love" as written by George Henry Jackson, Peter Ibsen, Sacha Skarbek and Duffy Jones....
You need cooling
Baby I'm not fooling
I'm gonna send ya
Back to schooling

A-way down inside
A-honey you need it
I'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you my love

Want to whole lotta love
Want to whole lotta love
Want to whole lotta love
Want to whole lotta love

You've been learning
Um baby I been learning
All them good times baby, baby
I've been year-yearning

A-way, way down inside
A-honey you need-ah
I'm gonna give you my love, ah
I'm gonna give you my love, ah oh

Whole lotta love
Want to whole lotta love
Want to whole lotta love
Want to whole lotta love

You've been cooling
And baby I've been drooling
All the good times, baby
I've been misusing

A-way, way down inside
I'm gonna give ya my love
I'm gonna give ya every inch of my love
I'm gonna give ya my love

Hey!
Alright! Let's go!

Whole lotta love
Want to whole lotta love
Want to whole lotta love
Want to whole lotta love

Way down inside
Woman, you need, yeah
Love

My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
Lord
Shake for me girl

I wanna be your backdoor man
Hey, oh, hey, oh
Hey, oh, hey, oh
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Cool, my, my baby
A-keep it cooling baby
A-keep it cooling baby
Ah-keep it cooling baby
Ah-keep it cooling baby
Ah-keep it cooling baby

    General CommentChuck Klosterman asked Robert Plant in an interview why he says "I'm gonna give you every inch of my love" when he is British and therefore uses the metric system...lol

    General Commenti think this song is about checking out that really hot hot girl that you know you got no shot at.....but if you had a chance with her.....she'd love getting fucked by you. its when you see that bitch that you would love to nail, but can't get it, cause she's not even gona give you a shot at it.......yeah man

    General CommentThis song is obviously Robert Plant boasting about the size of his cock.

    General Commentlalalayousangtome is wrong. the "backdoor man" statement comes from another Willie Dixon song (i hope you know Willie Dixon mainly wrote this song) that the Doors happened to do. This has nothing to do with the Doors directly. Anyway, a backdoor man is a man who takes advantage of a cuckhold's wife.

    General CommentThe middle section I'm not to fond of, but the whole fucking rest of the song; OH YEAH!!!! Some of Bonzo's best drumming is here, and a great guitar solo, and a super main riff too.

    General CommentI dont like the middle bit of this song, infact I usually skip it to get to the amazin guitar solo right after it, which is absolutely breath taking. I agree with jon zeppelin on the meanin.
