Lyrics for D'yer Mak'er as interpreted by kevin

D'yer Mak'er Lyrics
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go

Ay ay ay ay ay ay
All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay ay
All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay ay
Baby please don't go.

When I read the letter you wrote
It made me mad mad mad
When I read the news that it brought me
It made me sad sad sad
But I still love you so, I can't let you go
I love you- ooh baby I love you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Every breath I take oh oh oh oh oh
Every move I make oh oh oh oh oh
Baby please don't go

Ay ay ay ay ay ay
You hurt me to my soul ay ay ay ay ay
You hurt me to my soul ay ay ay ay ay
Darling please don't go.

When I read the letter you sent me
It made me mad mad mad
When I read the news that it brought me
It made me sad sad sad
But I still love you so
And I can't let you go
I love you- ooh baby I love you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
(Baby please don't go)

I think it means that there is a girl that he is mad at but loves so much and he dont want to see her go.

although the title is pronounced 'Jamaica', it was not a serious attempt at Reggae by the band, as some have thought.

I like how they include all of Robert Plant's oh's and ah's in the liner notes. Is it really necessary? This is a great tune though.

I agree with dyermaker....it's about a girl who told him something that upset him, but he's forgiven her and still loves her and doesn't want her to leave. It's a great song...one of my all time favorites...

most british (and Aussie) folks pronounce words ending in 'A' with an 'R' at the end.

In American terms D'yer Mak'er means "get any last night?" So that may help out in the meaning of the song

it's not really pronounced "jamaica"...but with the r's in it. you know like with an accent sort of (you know how some accents add r's at the end of vowels and stuff)...like "jer-maker." that's what i've heard anyway!

the title comes from a joke that goes something like this...
"first man: 'my wife and i just got back from a week on an island in the Caribbean.'
second man: 'Jamaica?'
first man: 'no, she wanted to go.' "

like many other songs by Led Zeppelin, the title really has nothing to do with the lyrics, but the title sort of comes from the sound of the song, which is sort of a Zeppelinized pseudo-Reggae sound.

Hey, I love this song, led zeppelin is my favorite band ever, I am almost positive it's pronounced "jer maker" but i'm not sure, so don't listen to me:) There was this guy cody that i was in love in 7th grade, (i'm 17 and a junior in highschool now ) and he was obssessed w/led zeppelin, so i decided to listen to the one cd my mom had to see why he liked them. This was the first song i recognized and liked a lot, so yeah...i still love this song :) i don't really care how it's pronounced

This is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin song and i cant even pronounce the name. The name remindes me of ice cream for some weird reason. I dont know, maybe im crazy. But this is a great song. Led Zepelin is my favorite band.

The song title is actually a band inside joke...One of the members went on a date and when he met with the band mates they asked him "You make her?" as in "Did you screw her brains out?" and his response was "No, she left on her own accord." It does not mean Jamaica...Just thought I'd drop that by.

"Every breath I take oh oh oh oh oh
Every move I make oh oh oh oh oh"

Was this song written before or after "I'll be missing you" I wonder ? ;D

A friend of mine is a huge Zeppelin fan. After correcting my pronunciation of the song title one day he told me it was about this: He said one of the band members (I can't remember which) was on his honeymoon in Jamiaca and got in a fight with his new wife and wrote this song. Since I didn't know my friend to be a bullshit artist I came here today to see if I could verify this information. So now I've shared another rumor with you all and I still don't know jack. Jeez.

the title is a reference to the joke mentioned at least once above. the "She went to the Carribean." "Jamaica?" "No, she went on her own." Of course, there's probably intended innuendo as we all know those boys "made" lots of girls. But the joke is a reference to the lyrics: "You don't have to go" Obviously then, she's going to go on her own. no one is making her

...just wat i always thought
