"C'mon and Love Me" is a 1975 single by the American rock band Kiss. It was originally featured on the group's third album Dressed to Kill.

Background

Written by Paul Stanley in under an hour, the track also appears in a live version on Alive!. Stanley was inspired by the Moody Blues song "Question" when composing the tune.

The lyrics are a playful narrative portraying a Don Juan who takes the unique tack of offering himself up to his romantic prey: "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."

Reception

"C'mon and Love Me" underperformed on the singles listings and did not chart. Nevertheless, it became a favorite in concert and a regular part of Kiss' 1970s performances. It has retained a cult following among the ensemble's fans and was later covered by Skid Row (this rendition can be found on B-Side Ourselves).

Cash Box said that "with ingenious lyrics, written from the sleazier side of being a rock star, Paul Stanley has written a blazing, high-energy rocker that illustrates why this group enjoys the fanatic, dedicated coterie it does."
