Dazed And Confused Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below. Yeah!

You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been,
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.

Every day I work so hard
Bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Don't know where you're goin'
Only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby, I want you again.

Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?



This was inspired by an acoustic song called "I'm Confused" that Jimmy Page heard folk singer Jake Holmes perform.
Page performed this with The Yardbirds with different lyrics as "I'm Confused." It appears on the album Live Yardbirds.
At live shows, Page played this using a violin bow on his guitar. He got the idea from a session violinist he worked with who suggested it. The violinist was the father of actor David McCallum from The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
A showcase song at most of their concerts. They sometimes improvised on it for up to 40 minutes.
The guitar solo following the bow section is Page's solo from the Yardbirds' "Think About It."
The first of 3 songs where Page used the bow. The others were "In The Light" and "In The Evening."
One of their first songs. It was released as a single in the US in January 1969, 2 weeks before the album.
