Classic Rock Lyrics

Communication Breakdown Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



Hey, girl, stop what you're doin'!
Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin.
I dont know what it is i like about you
But i like your love
Won't let me hold you,
Let me feel your lovin' charms.

*Communication Breakdown,
It's always the same,
I'm having a nervous breakdown,
Drive me insane!

Hey, girl, I got something I think you ought to know.
Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so.
I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah!
I'm never gonna let you go,
'Cause I like your charms.

* Chorus

I want you to love me all night...

* Chorus

I want you to love me all night
I want you to love me
I want you to love...yeah! I want you to love!



The guitar riff was inspired by Eddie Cochran's "Nervous Breakdown."
Became an anthem for frustrated youth.
A popular live song that usually either opened shows or was played in an encore.
Jimmy Page said the pounding guitar riff is difficult to play because of the constant, quick downstroke with the pick.
This was one of the first songs Jimmy Page and Robert Plant worked on together.
One of the few times Page sang a backing vocal.
Released as a single in the US, but it did not chart.
This was covered by Iron Maiden on their Eddie's Archive box set. (thanks, jimbo jones - waldo, WI)
