C'mon
Ke$h Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw you leanin' against
That old record machine.
Saw the name of your band
Written on the marquee.

It's a full moon tonight
So we gettin' rowdy
Yeah, we gettin' rowdy
G-g-gettin' rowdy.

Feelin' like I'm a highschooler
Sippin on a warm wine cooler
Hot 'cause the party don't stop
I'm in a crop top like I'm
Workin' at Hooters.

We been keepin' it PG
But I wanna get a little frisky
Come, give me some of that yum
Like a lollipop, let me
Set you free.

C'mon, 'cause I know what I like
And you're looking just like my type
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Now don't even try to deny
We're both goin' home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.

Write our names on the wall
In the back of the bar.
Steal some bubblegum from
The corner Maxi-Mart.

Yeah, we laughin' like kids
Causin' trouble in the dark
Causin' trouble in the dark
Tr-tr-trouble in the dark.

Feelin' like a sabre-tooth tiger
Sipper on a warm Budweiser
Touch me and give me that rush
Better pack a toothbrush
Gonna pull an all-nighter.

We been keepin' it couture
But I wanna get it on vulture
Come, give me some of that yum
Like a lollipop, baby
Don't be scared.

C'mon, 'cause I know what I like
And you're looking just like my type
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Now don't even try to deny
We're both goin' home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.

(I don't wanna), go to sleep
I wanna stay up all night
I wanna just screw around.
(I don't wanna), think about
What's gonna be after this
I just wanna live right now.
(I don't wanna), go to sleep
I wanna stay up all night
I wanna just screw around.
(I don't wanna), think about
What's gonna be after this
I just wanna live right now.
(So come on)!
C'mon, 'cause I know what I like
If you're looking just like my type
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Now don't even try to deny
We're both goin' home satisfied




Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ke$ha's song C'mon are packed with themes around youthful energy, excitement, spontaneity, and living in the moment. The first verse sets the scene with Ke$ha drinking wine coolers and noticing a guy from a band next to an old record player. She signals her intentions with the refrain (Let's go for it just for tonight/C'mon, c'mon, c'mon), using a catchy tune and an upbeat tempo to convey her sense of urgency and sense of play.


The second verse tells of the pair indulging in more mischief like spray painting their names onto a wall or stealing bubble gum from a corner store. Ke$ha's portrayal of their actions suggests a sense of freedom and rebellion, carried over from her earlier themes of living in the moment. She takes the opportunity to reinforce this sentiment with the line "Feelin' like a sabre-tooth tiger/Sipper on a warm Budweiser," tying her sense of play to a previous age.


The bridge shows Ke$ha's anxiety about the future as she argues for a night of pure abandonment (I don't wanna think about/What's gonna be after this/I just wanna live right now). The song ends on a fun and upbeat note, still exulting in the youthful energy of living for the moment.
