C'mon And Love Me
Kiss (1975) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer
She saw my picture in a music magazine
When she met me, said she'd get me
Touched her hips and told me that she'd let me
I took her hand, baby this is what I said
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me
I'm a man, I'm no baby
And you're lookin' every inch a lady
You're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good
You were distant, now you're nearer
I can feel your face inside the mirror
The lights are out and I can feel you, baby, with my hand
So baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
Baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
The lyrics to Kiss' "C'mon And Love Me" are all about a man's desire for a woman he's just met. He's attracted to her and wants her to take control in the relationship, stating that he's "no baby" and that she should take him "down to [his] knees." The fact that the man is a Capricorn while the woman is a Cancer could be seen as a nod to astrology, as Capricorns are known for their determination and practicality while Cancers are considered nurturing and emotional.
The lyrics are focused on physical attraction and sexual desire, with lines like "touched her hips and told me that she'd let me" and "you're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good." The repetition of the chorus, "C'mon and love me," emphasizes the man's urgency and his need for the woman to reciprocate his feelings.
Interestingly, the song was not originally released as a single in the United States. Instead, it was released as a single in several European countries and in Australia. However, the song has become a fan favorite over time and is often played at Kiss concerts.
