Originally named the New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Records that gave them considerable artistic freedom. Initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial success with eight studio albums over ten years. Their 1969 debut, Led Zeppelin, was a top-ten album in several countries and featured such tracks as "Good Times Bad Times", "Dazed and Confused" and "Communication Breakdown". Led Zeppelin II (1969) was their first number-one album, and yielded "Ramble On" and "Whole Lotta Love". In 1970, they released Led Zeppelin III which featured "Immigrant Song". Their untitled fourth album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV (1971), is one of the best-selling albums in history with 37 million copies sold. The album includes "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll" and "Stairway to Heaven", with the latter being among the most popular and influential works in rock history. Houses of the Holy (1973) yielded "The Ocean", "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "The Rain Song". Physical Graffiti (1975), a double album, featured "Trampled Under Foot" and "Kashmir".
Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin's music, particularly early in their career, while Plant wrote most of the lyrics. Jones's keyboard-based compositions later became central to their music, which featured increasing experimentation. The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery. Although they remained commercially and critically successful, their touring and output, which included Presence (1976) and In Through the Out Door (1979), grew limited, and the group disbanded following Bonham's death in 1980. Since then, the surviving former members have sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off reunions. The most successful of these was the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London, with Bonham's son Jason Bonham on drums.
Led Zeppelin are one of the best-selling music artists of all time; their total record sales are estimated to be between 200 and 300 million units worldwide. They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums and six number-one albums on the US Billboard 200, with five of their albums certified Diamond in the US. Rolling Stone magazine described them as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the Seventies", and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995; the museum's biography of the band states that they were "as influential" during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you want a man like me?
Oh baby baby, I'm just as sweet as anybody could be
Oh baby baby, I want to look to your eyes, of blue
Oh baby baby, it's more than anybody else could do
Well oh baby baby
You know when I see you walkin' down the street
Oh baby baby, I don't believe I've tasted this before
Oh baby baby, I want it now
And every mouthful more of you
Talk about you, yeah
Talk about you
Oh baby baby
You know that I wanted it more
Oh baby baby
I'm about to kiss goodbye to this store
Oh baby baby
It ain't the wrapping that sells the goods
Oh baby baby
I got a sweet tooth when my mouth is full of you
Talk about you
Ooh, you
Talk about you
Yeah, talk about you
Ooh yeah, talk about you
Ooh baby oh baby it's alright, it's alright
Oh baby it's alright it's alright
Well, oh baby, baby
Oh you sting like a bee
Oh baby, baby
I like your honey and it sure likes me
Oh baby, baby
I got my spoon inside your jar
Oh baby, baby
Don't give me too much, don't make me starve
Oh baby, baby
Sugar sister on a silver plate
Oh baby, baby
I need a mouthful and I just can't wait
Oh baby, baby
See the shaking in my hand
Oh baby, baby
Don't mean to fumble but it tastes so grand
Tastes so grand
Tastes so grand
Tastes so grand
Tastes so grand, ooh
Baby it's alright
