About The Song
“Whole Lotta Love” is a song by British rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the opening track on the band’s second album, Led Zeppelin II, and was released as a single in 1969 in several countries; as with other Led Zeppelin songs, no single was released in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it became their first hit and was certified gold.
The song’s lyrics were adapted from Willie Dixon’s “You Need Love”. The song is known for its iconic riff, which was crafted by Jimmy Page. The song is considered to be one of the most sexually explicit songs by Led Zeppelin, with the word “love” being replaced by both “sex” and “penis” in different sections of the song. The song has been performed live by Led Zeppelin on numerous occasions, including at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970.

Lyrics
You need cooling, baby, I’m not fooling
I’m gonna send you back to schooling
Way down inside, honey, you need it
I’m gonna give you my love
I’m gonna give you my love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
You’ve been learning, baby, I’ve been yearning
All them good times, baby, baby, I’ve been learning
Way, way down inside, honey, you need it
I’m gonna give you my love
I’m gonna give you my love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
You’ve been cooling, baby, I’ve been drooling
All the good times baby I’ve been misusing
Way, way down inside, I’m gonna give you my love
I’m gonna give you every inch of my love
Gonna give you my love
Yeah! All right! Let’s go
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Way down inside… woman… you need… love
Shake for me, girl
I wanna be your backdoor man
Keep it cooling, baby
Keep it cooling, baby
Keep it cooling, baby
Keep it cooling, baby
