Lyrics Explained: Led Zeppelin - Black Dog

Lyrics Explained: Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Feb. 26, 2010
Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.


Let's have sex!

Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.


Let's have sex!

Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away.


I really want to have sex with you!




Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah, ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.

Climax!

I gotta roll, can't stand still,
Got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill.


I'm a sex addict!

Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all thru my head.


I wanna have sex with you!

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Climax number two!

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
Tell me what you do me now.


What do I have to do to get in your pants?

Didn't take too long fore I found out
What people mean my down and out.


Don't listen to what the others are saying. My masturbation problem won't get in our way at all.

Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin' her friends she wants to be a star.


I've paid for sex before. Lots of times. I even sold my car to afford one of those fancy pros once. So if you're up for that option...

I don't know but I been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.


No, you're right. Prostitutes are empty husks of people with no feelings.

All I ask for when I pray,
Steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.


Please, God, give me a girlfriend.

Need a woman gonna hold my hand
And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.


My hand hurts. I need a woman.

Share the love!

All music is about sex.

That is very true. Because sex is a tune we can all enjoy. Except for those crazy people in history that absolutley hated sex. Like this one monk who castrated himself. Worst pain EVER.

Not true. A significant percentage is about drugs.

I see how it is matt, ganging up on the guy with the most posts... I've stood by you after all these weeks from the very beggining even, and you just cast me aside. Well no more! I'm gonna do something drastic! ... I just have to think up what it would be though...

It's simple. We find that new guy whose been posting up a storm and gang up on him. A bit of the ol' one-two.

Also, it's funny how Jonesy, Page, and Plant are covered up by the text, and all you can see it Bonham, like he's the one saying it. XD
