The lyrics to Mägo de Oz's "Whole Lotta Love" suggest that the singer is aware that his lover needs some guidance and schooling, as well as love. The phrase "you need coolin'," may suggest that his partner is in need of some cooling off, or maybe some guidance to stay calm and composed. Instead of just making recommendations, he decides that it's his job to make her realize her potential by teaching her a few lessons, metaphorically sending her back to school to learn about how to be a better partner. He'll teach her this by giving her his love.
The song also suggests that the singer has been yearning for love, indicating that he hasn't been able to find a partner with whom he can share his love. He suggests, "all them good times, baby, baby I've been yearnin'," indicating that he's pining for a lover who understands and reciprocates his love. The repeated refrain, "Wanna whole lotta love?" suggests that the singer needs extensive and all-encompassing love from his partner, not just a surface-level attraction.
Overall, the lyrics of "Whole Lotta Love" indicate the need for an intense, all-consuming love that is grounded in mutual understanding and trust. The singer wants his partner to learn how to be a better lover and needs them to show that love in return to make the relationship work.
