C’mon and Love Me

KISS

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's a dancer, a romancer
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

[Chorus]
I said, "Baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me"

[Verse 2]
I'm a man, I'm no baby
And you're looking every inch a lady
You're good looking, and you're looking 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

[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me

[Outro]
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 meEmbed
