  • Treat me like a fool,
    Treat me mean and cruel,
    But love me.

    Wring my faithful heart,
    Tear it all apart,
    But love me.

    If you ever go,
    Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
    I'll be sad and blue,
    Crying over you, dear only.

    I would beg and steal
    (she would beg and steal)
    Just to feel
    (just just to feel)
    Your heart
    (I want your heart)
    Beatin' so close to mine

    If you ever go,
    Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
    I'll be sad and blue,
    Crying over you, dear only.

    I would beg and steal
    (she would beg and steal)
    Just to feel
    (just just to feel)
    Your heart
    (I want your heart)
    Beatin' so close to mine

    If you ever go,
    Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
    Beggin' on knees,
    All I ask is please, please love me
    Oh yeah Writer/s: FELIX CAVALIERE

  • Alvin Bobbe from Los AngelesThe above quote from Robert Plant, "When I met Elvis with Zeppelin, after one of his concerts in the early '70s, I sized him up. He wasn't quite as tall as me, but he had a singer's build, and he was driven.' is unverified and I doubt he ever said it. There aren't any verifiable sources, either printed or on video, of him saying this. Suspect someone made it up. If I'm wrong, please provide a link to an interview or video, fellow Zep Lovers!
