The song "Whole Lotta Love" by Carlos Santana featuring Chris Cornell is a cover of the Led Zeppelin classic. The lyrics revolve around the idea of giving someone a whole lotta love, despite their need for "schoolin'" or improvement. The song seems to deal with the concept of wanting to love someone despite their flaws or shortcomings.
The first verse, "You need coolin', baby, I'm not foolin', I'm gonna send you back to schoolin'," seems to suggest that the singer's love interest needs some improvement or correction, but he is willing to help her get there. The second verse, "You've been learnin', baby, I've been learnin', all them good times, baby, baby, I've been yearnin'," implies that the singer has also made mistakes in the past and is willing to learn from them.
The chorus, "Oh, want a whole lotta love, want a whole lotta love," repeats the main theme of the song, which is the desire to give someone a lot of love. The final verse, "All the good times baby, I've been misusin', way, way down inside, I'm gonna give you my love, I'm gonna give you every inch of my love," reinforces the idea that despite past mistakes, the singer is willing to give everything he has to make the relationship work.
Overall, the song seems to be about the idea of accepting someone's flaws and helping them improve while still giving them a lot of love.
