C'mon
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saw the name of your band written on the marquee
It's a full moon tonight so we gettin' rowdy
Yeah, we gettin' rowdy, get-get-gettin' rowdy
Feeling like I'm a high schoo-ler sipping on a warm wine cooler
Hot 'cause the party don't stop, I'm in a crop top like I'm working at Hooters
We been keepin' it PG but I wanna get a little frisky
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 going home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon
Write our names on the wall in the back of the bar
Steal some bubblegum from the corner meximart
Yeah, we're laughing like kids causing trouble in the dark
Causing trouble in the dark, tr-tr-trouble in the dark
Feeling like a saber-tooth tiger sipping on a warm Budweiser
Touch me and gimme that rush, better pack a toothbrush, gonna pull an all-nighter
We been keepin' it Kosher, but I wanna get it on fo' sure
Come gimme 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 going 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 wanna just 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 wanna just live right now
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 going home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

I never thought Ke$ha had soooo many hits, a true queen that really shaped 2000's pop music.
AYEForApplesauce
Without her there would be no Charli XCX, Billie Eilish or Bebe Rexha. electropop would’ve died out with Gaga. Thank god she revived it
tristan yupukoni
*2010's
Joy Cinco
@tristan yupukoni both are correct. She blew up on 2009 with her song "TikTok" (the only TikTok I know and nothing else comes close).
datonehaha
actually 2010s is because tik tok blew up on the early 2010s
Alex
@AYEForApplesauce hell yas! True! Thanks! Shs is the reason why all the other girls can run now in yhe music industry!

Literally NOBODY writes pop anthems as infectious as Kesha. Her songs make me feel young, happy, and alive when nothing else can. We need this kind of raw energy back.
Eden LeBlanc
you mean Ke$ha, right?
William Mcmahon
The spot is waiting for someone to take it but I feel like we’ve all been miserable and in lockdown so long it would come across ignorant to release feel good party music like this... hers and dr Luke’s song formula was something else. Warrior and cannibal still stand as pop standards to this day
William Mcmahon
@Eden LeBlanc getting rid of the $ sign is some cop out shit
