To somebody who isn't familiar with Led Zep's history, interviews and other such things, the meaning of this song seems pretty obvious.
Verse 1: He meets a woman he's extremely turned on by.
Verse 2: He learns the hard way she's just using him (for money, fame, etc).
Verse 3: He says he wants a woman who will be a true companion to him and make him happy.
Many guys have dated a girl that they were crazy about physically only to end up heartbroken because she was psychotic and selfish (myself in included).
In this song, the guy is depressed about getting used by a hot chick for his money, car and fame. Now he wishes he had an honest woman who actually loved him and could make him happy (aka no longer depressed).
Hence the title "Black Dog", which is a well-known term in England: "The Black Dog has been used as a metaphor for depression from antiquity to the present day"
@sadchild I don\'t blame Women for using men this way, the only reason Men like "hot chicks" is for their looks, and once those are gone so are the Men.
