Let's see. I think this song is about....fucking. Just a wild guess, I might add; could be wrong though.

This song is obviously very sexual in nature. "Way down inside" is a sort of double meaning. The quite literal act of him being inside her, but also the gutful and raw lustful emotion. The song is full of double meanings and innuendo. Even at the end where he sings "I wanna be your backdoor man" can mean he either wants to put it in her backdoor, or he's the secret lover in an affair of some sorts.

If Im not totally mistaken on this one,and if the confusing nature of these extremely misleading lyrics hasnt simply baffled me,Im pretty sure Robert Plant is offering up a large quantity of "love" to one or more members of the opposite sex.You may want to consult the Headquarters of the Obvious to confirm my obscure interpretation.

Actually, though he is uncredited, the song is based on a Willie Dixon song. Years later, Zeppelin settled out of court for this and a couple of other songs copied from Dixon. Dixon also wrote (in the early 1950s) "I Just Want To Make Love to You", covered by Foghat and "Aint Superstitous" coverd by the Jeff Beck Group.
