Led Zeppelin - black country woman

화자는 상대방의 차가운 태도와 무관심으로 인해 상처받고, 사랑에 대한 기대와 현실 사이의 괴리를 느낀다
상대방이 사랑한다고 말할 필요가 없었던 상황을 아쉬워하며, 심지어 다양한 감정의 복잡함 속에서도 그 사람과의 관계를 부정하진 않겠다는 의지를 드러낸다
결국, 화자는 상황을 받아들이고 주변 사람들과의 관계도 염두에 두게 된다

Shall we roll it, Jimmy?
We're rolling on, what, one?
No, one again?
*Airplane heard flying overhead*
Got to get this airplane off
Naw, leave it, yeah
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here?
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here?
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to love me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here?
You didn't have to make me a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here?
That's alright, it's awful dog-gone clear
Hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean?
Oh, oh, baby, why you treat me mean?
You didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, hey, mama, why'd you treat me mean?
You didn't have say you'd always be by my side
You didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushing bride
Hey, hey, mama, why you treat me mean?
But that's alright, I know your sisters, too
