Primitive Love
CCS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Primitive love, Primitive love
Primitive man make primitive love
Primitive love, Primitive love
Great heavens above, it's primitive love
[Chorus]
Drags his woman back of the hill
You be Tarzan, and I'll be Jane
Run off and leave you
But I'll come back again
(Heavy Sigh!)
[Chorus]
You be Adam, and I'll be Eve
Primitive love is all I need
Jungle fever in my head
Gimme strange kinda lovin'
That's what I said
[Chorus]
The lyrics to CCS's song "Primitive Love" show a fascination with the raw, unrefined aspects of love and intimacy. The chorus emphasizes the primal nature of this love, with the repetition of the phrase "primitive love" and the reference to "primitive man." The verses then describe various scenarios in which this primitive love might manifest, such as a man dragging his woman back of the hill or a woman seeking out jungle fever. The lyrics suggest a desire for a kind of love that is unencumbered by societal norms or expectations, unafraid to be rough or unconventional, and perhaps even a little dangerous.
At the same time, there is a sense of playfulness and whimsy throughout the song, particularly in the line "You be Tarzan, and I'll be Jane." The singer is willing to embrace different roles and personas, to experiment and explore, in pursuit of this primitive love. The heavy sigh that follows the mention of Tarzan and Jane might suggest some longing or frustration, but the overall tone of the song remains lighthearted and fun.
Overall, "Primitive Love" seems to be celebrating the idea of a love that is passionate, adventurous, and unapologetically primal.
Line by Line Meaning
Primitive love, Primitive love
This is a song about the beauty of simple, primal love.
Primitive man make primitive love
The earliest humans were driven by love, just like we are today.
Great heavens above, it's primitive love
Even though we've evolved so much as a society, some things still remain the same - like the powerful force of love.
Drags his woman back of the hill
In the early days of humans, mating was more instinctual and basic, and occurred wherever and whenever nature allowed.
Rough, and tough, but I don't care
Love sometimes involves enduring hardship, but it's still worth it.
You be Tarzan, and I'll be Jane
Let's play out the classic jungle love story, where the man is the wild, untamed protector and the woman is the tender, nurturing one.
Run off and leave you
As with any relationship, there may be times when one person leaves for a while, but that doesn't mean the love is gone.
But I'll come back again
True love always finds a way to come back together, no matter what obstacles are in the way.
You be Adam, and I'll be Eve
Let's play out the original love story from the Bible, where the first two human beings fall in love and start the human race.
Primitive love is all I need
Despite all the modern trappings of our lives, at the core we still crave simple, unadorned love.
Jungle fever in my head
This kind of love is so powerful and intense, it feels like it's driving the person crazy - just like a fever does.
Gimme strange kinda lovin'
True love isn't always neat and tidy - sometimes it's weird and wonderful, and that's okay.
That's what I said
At the end of the day, the message is clear: primitive love is real, and it's something to be cherished and celebrated.

AWESOME!!!! Love the brass & it ROCKS CLASSIC QUATRO/TUCKEY penned track!!! :D
Dario Western
The brass arrangements took this song to a whole new level. You should go check out CCS' other material if you haven't yet. They were the first band to release an album on RAK Records in 1970 called "CCS". In 1972 they recorded "CCS 2", and then in 1973 "The Best Band In The Land" which this song is taken from. Their cover of Led Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" is excellent, it used to be the opening credits to Top Of The Pops in the UK in the 70's.

Planning to do a virtual jam of this song on FB and YT to commemorate Mike's 73rd birthday next Monday night with some musician friends.
Dario Western
No. This song was written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, and was given to both Suzi Quatro and CCS as an album track. Suzi's version is really great too. :)
Goliam Nos

Dario Western
It was originally written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and recorded by Suzi Quatro as a more faster tribal rocker on her debut album.
