Classic Rock Lyrics

Since I've Been Loving You Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



Working seven to eleven ev'ry night,
It really makes my life a drag,
I don't think that's right.
I've really, really been the best of fools,
I did what I could,
'Cause I love you, baby,
How I love you, darling,
How I love you, baby,
How I love you, girl, little girl.
But baby, Since I've Been Loving You, yeah,
I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.
 
Ev'rybody trying to tell me
That you didn't mean me no good.
I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you,
Let me tell you I really did the best I could.
I've been working seven to eleven ev'ry night,
It kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord, you know it ain't right.
Since I've Been Loving You,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.
 
Said I've been crying,
My tears they fell like rain,
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling,
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling.
 
Do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
You didn't want me no more,
I open my front door hearing my back door slam,
You must have one of them new fangled,
New fangled back door man,
 
I've been working from seven, seven, seven,
To eleven ev'ry night,
It kinda makes my life a drag, a drag, drag,
Ah, yeah, it makes a drag.
Baby, Since I've Been Loving You,
I'm about to lose,
I'm about to lose, lose my worried mind.


Intended for Led Zeppelin II, but was bumped for "Whole Lotta Love."
Moby Grape was one of Robert Plant's favorite bands. Their "Never" may have inspired this.
A lot of critics hated this album. Songs like this were softer than previous Zeppelin material, which made it a target. The album did very well among fans and has endured as a classic.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the squeak of John Bonham's drum pedal.
Recorded live in the studio with very little overdubbing.
Plant used a sample from this on his solo track "White, Clean, and Neat."
Jimmy Page did his guitar solo in one take. Engineer Terry Manning called it "The best rock guitar solo of all time."
