Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drive me crazy 'Cause my feet won't quit as I go slidin' in the sweet zone
Round round like you want me to do
Down down like you're beggin' me to
The floor's small and the wall's too steep
I can kiss your mouth when I go to sleep
Oh, baby, got those personal moves so deep inside my move groove
Down down like you want me to do
Round round like you're beggin' me to
The floor's small and it's much too steep
I can kiss your mouth when I go to sleep
I feel alright, 'Cause my little girl wants to dance all night
What can I do I know my little girl wants to dance with you
Oh darlin', come on baby, come on mess with me
Oh, woman, I'll make it up to you, if you just drive me wild, child
Down down like you want me to do
Round round like you're daring me to
The floor's small and the wall's too steep
I can kiss your mouth when I go to sleep
I feel alright Because my little girl wants to dance all night
Oh what can I do I know my little girl, she wants to dance with you
I feel alright My little girl wants to dance all night
Oh what can I do, ooh ooh I know that girl, she wants to dance, dance, dance
Round round like you want me to do
Down down you're beggin' me to
The floor's small and much too steep
I can kiss your mouth as I go to sleep
I feel alright 'Cause my little girl she wants to dance all night
All of my life
You know my little girl she wants to dance, dance, dance
I feel alright Oh my little girl she wants to dance all night, now
Oh what can I do Oh, my little girl wants to dance
Come on dance with me baby, come on dance w
The lyrics to Robert Plant's song Promised Land are a celebration of the physical and emotional connection between two people. The singer describes how his lover's personal moves drive him crazy and how he can't help but slide into the sweet zone when he's around her. He compares their physical connection to a dance, with his lover begging him to go down and round and round as they move together. The song is filled with sensual imagery, with the two lovers kissing each other's mouths and crawling inside each other's groove.
At its core, Promised Land is a celebration of the joys of physical intimacy. The singer is completely enamored with his lover and can't get enough of her. He is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her satisfied, even if it means going crazy and losing himself in her love groove. The lyrics are playful and flirtatious, with the singer teasing his lover and begging her to dance with him all night long.
Despite its upbeat lyrics, Promised Land also has darker undertones. The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation, with the singer willing to do anything to keep his lover happy. He is constantly worried about losing her and is willing to make it up to her if she drives him wild. The song is a celebration of the joys of physical connection, but it also acknowledges the power dynamics at play in relationships and the desperation that can come with the fear of losing someone we love.
