In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Oh, she's my baby
Let me tell you why
Hey, she drives me crazy
She's the apple of my eye
'Cause she is my girl
And she can never do wrong
If I dream too much at night
Somebody please bring me down
Hey, I love that little lady
I got to be her fool
Ain't no other like my baby
I can break the golden rule
'Cause I get down on my knees
Oh, I pray that love won't die
And if I always try to please
I don't know the reason why, yeah
If she would come back
Only stay with me, oh yeah
Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit of my love, a pretty girl
Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit, every little bit of my love, oh
I don't have to go by plane
I ain't gotta go by car
I don't care just where my darling is
People I just don't care how far
I'm gonna crawl, I'm gonna crawl
I don't care if I got to go back home
I don't care what I got to stand to her back
I'm gonna crawl, I'm gonna crawl
Ah, I'm gonna move the car, baby
Ah, she give me good lovin', she give me good lovin'
She give me good lovin', she give me good lovin', my baby give me good lovin'
Yes, I love her, I guess I love her, yes, I love her
I'm gonna crawl
Let me tell you why
Hey, she drives me crazy
She's the apple of my eye
'Cause she is my girl
And she can never do wrong
If I dream too much at night
Somebody please bring me down
Hey, I love that little lady
I got to be her fool
Ain't no other like my baby
I can break the golden rule
'Cause I get down on my knees
Oh, I pray that love won't die
And if I always try to please
I don't know the reason why, yeah
If she would come back
Only stay with me, oh yeah
Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit of my love, a pretty girl
Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit, every little bit of my love, oh
I don't have to go by plane
I ain't gotta go by car
I don't care just where my darling is
People I just don't care how far
I'm gonna crawl, I'm gonna crawl
I don't care if I got to go back home
I don't care what I got to stand to her back
I'm gonna crawl, I'm gonna crawl
Ah, I'm gonna move the car, baby
Ah, she give me good lovin', she give me good lovin'
She give me good lovin', she give me good lovin', my baby give me good lovin'
Yes, I love her, I guess I love her, yes, I love her
I'm gonna crawl

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I have to agree with Electrophile. It's an AWESOME song, but everytime it reminds me that Bonzo is gone. It's another one of those songs that just has a cool feeling to it.
well, after reading the lyrics and listening to the song, i've come up with the meaning:
soo basicly, i think this whole album is about love and break ups "All My Love" is about how much one person loves the other, and or for Plants son, but either way, its about love. "Fool in the Rain" is about a break up and how the girl said she will never leave the guy. well, i have a feeling, or it could just be me that "All My love" and "Im Gonna Crawl" are basicly songs that countine on to each other, soo when "All My Love" fades out, "Im Gonna Crawl" starts and the lyrics are pretty straight forward, he is probably telling her and or his friends how much he loves his girlfriend and that it doesnt matter how far is girl is from him, he will crawl to her.
Same as elw1315 said: every time I hear it, it reminds me that Bonzo is gone, and this is the end. It's the same thing as the end of Abbey Road.
One of my favorite zeppelin songs...
Uhoh........Playboy got caught spreadin his lovin all 'round.......Can you really blame him?....Robert Plant is a god....All members of Zeppelin Qualify to sit at the head of the table of rock Gods.....They got any chick they wanted......That's the way it should be......At least he had the ability to write an apology like this......How could any girl resist such romantic wiles......Damn he's smooth!.......I wish I could figure out moves like that....hehe........I love this band!......
It just makes me sad to listen to this cause it was the last song on their last regular studio album.
this is sooo bluesy its just awsome!!! i love this song!
It's the awesome! why so few posts?
